Safety Points to Know Before you Begin
The reloading of ammunition involves the use of highly explosive primers and
flammable powder which can be inherently dangerous. Accidents can and do occur,
sometimes with disastrous results including, but not limited to, loss of vision, hearing or life.
These accidents are nondiscriminatory, they can occur with both the novice and the
experienced loader. You should recognize this danger and take certain minimum
precautions to lessen your exposure to injury. We cannot guarantee your complete
safety. In order to minimize your risk please use common sense when reloading and follow
these following basic rules.
Never operate the machine without wearing ear and eye protection. Call our
customer service department at (800) 223-4570 for information on the wide variety of
shooting/safety glasses and hearing protection that Dillon has to offer. Or visit our website

process. Do not watch television or try to carry on a conversation and load at the same
time. If you are interrupted or must leave and come back to your loading, always inspect
the cases at every station to insure that the proper operations have been accomplished.

reloading area. Do not allow open flames in reloading area.
