Ruger Caulking Gun - Manual (Page 11)

Death, serious injury, and damage
can result from the use of wrong
ammunition, bore obstructions,
powder overloads, or incorrect
cartridge components. Even the
strongest gun can be blown up by
excess pressure. Only use correct
ammunition loaded to U.S. Industry
Standards. Always wear shooting
glasses and hearing protectors.

Keep the safety on unless actually firing.
Always move the safety fully to its intended
position and check it. The safety has two
positions –“SAFE” (also used for loading and
unloading) and “FIRE.”
The safety is not on
“SAFE” until it is “clicked” fully rearward
and the word “SAFE” is fully visible. Never
depend on a safety mechanism or any other
mechanical device to justify careless
handling or permitting the rifle to point in
an unsafe direction.
The only “safe” rifle is
one in which the breech block is open and
the chamber is empty.
