WARNING - UNLOADING
Removing cartridges from the magazine does not prevent the rifle from
being fired! When there is a cartridge in the chamber and the safety lever is
in the “F” (FIRE) position, the cartridge will discharge if the trigger is pulled.
It is absolutely essential for the user to know how to completely unload
the rifle.
“Completely” means emptying the magazine and removing a chambered
cartridge. The safety lever should always be in the “S” (SAFE) position
when the rifle is being unloaded.
THE RIFLE WILL FIRE EVEN
IF THE MAGAZINE IS EMPTY OR REMOVED
