GENERAL RULES FOR SAFE USE AND HANDLING OF THE SSK-50
1.
If you are unfamiliar with firearms seek professional instruction.
Qualified organizations such as
local gun clubs, the National Rifle Association and State Hunter Safety programs offer courses which teach
safe gun handling and proper hunting procedures. Those who are unfamiliar with firearms should seek guid-
ance from an instructor who is qualified by one of these organizations.
2.
Always point the muzzle of your SSK-50 firearm downrange.
The possibility of accidental discharge
is a constant danger when using a firearm. If the muzzle is pointed downrange, away from yourself, other
people, domestic animals or property, then there can be no injury or damage from an accidental discharge.
3.
Never load your SSK-50 until you are ready to fire it.
If your firearm is not loaded until you are ready
to fire and are directing your full concentration to it and the target, then there can be no accidental dis-
charge of the firearm. Never transport or carry a loaded firearm in vehicle. Never hand a loaded firearm to
another person. Never store a loaded firearm in your home. Never cross a fence, climb a tree, jump a ditch
or engage in any activity which distracts your attention while holding or carrying a loaded firearm. Never
attempt to clean a loaded firearm. Carelessness in observing any of these rules can result in an accidental
discharge which can cause injury or death to yourself or others.
4.
Be physically fit and mentally alert when using your SSK-50.
The use of your SSK-50 involves
forceful physical actions which require strength and concentration. Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs
before shooting or handling your SSK-50. Never use your SSK-50 when you are overly tired. If you use
medication or have medical implants, consult your physician before using your SSK-50.
