AND USE.
1. All personnel operating the trap should be thoroughly familiar with the
operating instructions and the safety issues relating to the trap.
2. Do not leave trap in the cocked position. Not only is this potentially dangerous,
but it puts undue stress on the mainspring.
3. Always load and operate the trap from the rear (switch end).
4. Keep hands and body outside the trap and throwing arm path indicator areas
while the trap is operating. This ring shows the throwing arm‟s path when
throwing a target, and should always be attached to the trap when it is in use.
5. Be aware that a cracked or broken target thrown from the trap will sometimes
scatter pieces out the right side of the machine as the arm throws. These
pieces may hit nearby unsuspecting bystanders.
6. Always wear eye and hearing protection when shooting.
