EN WARNING: The firearm is now loaded and ready to fire after the manual safety is disengaged. Always keep your finger off the trigger and avoid contact with the trigger by other objects if you don't intend to fire. Never point a firearm at something that is not safe to shoot. (See points 1, 2 and 4 of the BASIC SAFETY RULES). WARNING: Beretta assumes no liability for any injury or property damage resulting from improper or careless handling or intentional or accidental firing of the shotgun. • Move the carrier to insert the cartridges into the magazine through the loading port to latch behind the cartridge retaining lever (Fig. 7). • To fire, disengage the safety (Fig. 5) (red ring visible) and pull the trigger. • After firing the first shot, release the trigger to set up the shotgun for the next cartridge. • The shotgun will fire the cartridge in the chamber first, and then it will automatically introduce the cartridge from the magazine tube into the chamber. WARNING: After pulling the trigger, if the shotgun doesn't fire, engage the safety, wait at least one minute and unload the shotgun as described in the corresponding section. Never attempt to reuse or fire ammunition that did not fire the first time. Dispose of unfired or damaged ammunition properly, in accordance with the ammunition manufacturer's recommendations. WARNING: If another cartridge is fired into an obstructed barrel, damage and very serious injury may occur. If you do not plan to fire a second shot, engage the safety (red ring not visible) (Fig. 3) keeping the firearm pointed in a safe direction and the fingers away from the trigger. If you have finished firing, unload the shotgun as indicated in: "How to unload the shotgun". • When the last cartridges has been fired, the breech bolt remains open, showing that the magazine is empty. • Engage the safety (Fig. 3) (red ring not visible) and if necessary, reload the shotgun according to the instructions given previously. WARNING: Always unload the firearm immediately after firing is completed. Never store a loaded firearm. To store the shotgun, see: "Storage". 18
