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) 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 round has been fired, the breech bolt remains open, showing that the magazine is empty (Fig. 24). • Engage the safety (Fig. 8) (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". HOW TO USE THE CUT-OFF DEVICE The cut-off device enables a live round to be extracted from the cartridge chamber and for the breech bolt to be locked open as a safety measure or for the round to be replaced in the chamber without feeding a new round from the magazine. WARNING: Firearm loaded with cartridge in the chamber and safety engaged. Never point a firearm at something that is not safe to shoot. (See points 1, 2 and 4 of the BASIC SAFETY RULES.) • Ensure that the safety is engaged (Fig. 8). The red ring of the safety is not visible. • Engage the cut-off device pressing the lever on the left side of the receiver (round part) (Fig. 25). • Pull the breech bolt back to the end stop using the handle. In this phase, the live cartridge is extracted from the cartridge chamber and ejected through the ejection port (Fig. 26), the breech bolt stops on the carrier locked by the cut-off device. Feeding from the magazine is blocked. • Once safety conditions are restored, insert the extracted loaded cartridge (Fig. 21) or other desired cartridge type into the chamber. • Keeping the fingers away from the ejection port, disengage the cut-off to release the breech bolt so that it locks (Fig. 17). WARNING: The firearm is loaded and ready to fire after the manual safety is disengaged. Check that the safety is correctly engaged. Never point a firearm at something that is not safe to shoot. (See points 1, 2 and 4 of the BASIC SAFETY RULES). • To fire, disengage the safety (Fig. 9) (red ring visible) and pull the trigger. ! EN ! ! ! 23
