Immediately remove your finger from the trigger and slowly and carefully allow the hammer to lower into the “safe- ty” half-cock position (Figure 13). When the chamber is loaded never place the hammer in the fired (down) position (Figure. 14).
WARNING: THE HALF-COCK TYPE SAFETY IS DESIGNED TO SECURE THE HAMMER, HOLDING IT FROM CONTACTING THE FIRING PIN.
HOWEVER, THIS MECHANISM WILL NOT NECESSARILY PREVENT THE ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE OF THIS FIREARM AS A RESULT OF JARRING OR ABUSE SUCH AS OCCURS WHEN A FIREARM IS DROPPED.
The safety (half-cock) arrangement is also designed to resist greater forces than are normally required to pull the
trigger. The half-cock position is not intended to test one’s finger strength, but rather, to provide sufficient protection against unintentional or accidental firing. To forcibly pull on the trigger to cause the hammer to fall from the half-cock position will strain the parts and reduce the pressure needed to dislodge the hammer, thus damaging the safety feature of your rifle.
IMPORTANT: CLEAN THE INSIDE OF THE BARREL AND CHAMBER TO REMOVE ALL GREASE AND OTHER POSSIBLE OBSTRUCTIONS BEFORE FIRING YOUR GUN.
