GENERAL RULES FOR SAFE USE AND HANDLING OF THE SSK-50 (Cont)
5.
Know the condition of your SSK-50 before firing.
Be sure the firearm is loaded with ammunition of
the proper caliber. Be sure the breech is securely locked. Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions (including
excess oil, mud, dirt, snow or any foreign material). Failure to observe this rule may result in damage to the
firearm and injury to the shooter or bystanders.
6.
Be sure of your target.
Never fire your SSK-50 unless there is a back stop behind your target. Never fire
your SSK-50 in the field unless you have a clear view of your target. Never fire at a noise or movement in the
brush. If hunting with others, always know where other members of your party are located. Never fire your
SSK-50 if there is a possibility that a member of your hunting party is down range. Never shoot at flat, hard
surfaces such as rocks or water. A bullet may ricochet off these surfaces causing injury or death.
7.
Respect the SSK-50.
Used properly, your SSK-50 will give you years of pleasure. Used improperly,
carelessly or abused, your SSK-50 is a dangerous instrument and is capable of causing serious injury, death or
property damage. Always treat your SSK-50 as if it were loaded. Do not drop your SSK-50 or allow it to be
struck a blow. Dropping or striking may cause movement of internal parts in such a manner as to cause an
accidental discharge.
8.
Protect your eyes and ears when firing your SSK-50.
Always wear shooting glasses to protect your
eyesight from air borne particles and ear protection to guard against hearing loss due to loud noise when
firing your SSK-50.
