- Before loading or using the weapon, check the barrel for foreign objects such as squib loads, dirt, branches, snow, or water droplets.
- Load your weapon only immediately before use.
- Always secure your weapon. Only immediately before firing should the weapon be made ready to fire.

- Only when you have the target in sight should you place your finger on the trigger.
- Never point or aim the weapon at an object you do not intend to shoot.
- Use only intact and undamaged ammunition from your specialist dealer or your own hand-loaded ammunition that complies with regulations, if you are a knowledgeable reloader.
- Firing damaged, unknown, or incorrectly reloaded ammunition can cause serious or even fatal injuries to persons or damage your weapon.
- Load the weapon only with the appropriate ammunition and caliber for which the weapon is marked and intended.
