Otherwise, push it down (Fig. 6). • Use the cocking handle to retract the breech bolt until it snaps into the open position (Fig. 7). • Engage the manual safety by pressing the safety button to hide the red ring (Fig. 8). CAUTION: The safety can only beengaged with the hammer in the cocked position. The hammer is cocked by pulling back the breech bolt. When the safety button shows the red ring, the SAFETY IS DISENGAGED, so the firearm is ready for use. When the red ring is not visible on the safety button, the SAFETY IS ENGAGED. WARNING: The manual safety is merely a mechanical device and is in no way a substitute for the Basic Safety Rules of firearm handling (Fig. 21). • Introduce the first cartridge into the cartridge chamber through the ejection port (Fig. 22). • Keeping your hands away from the ejection port, press the release button and guide the breech bolt to lock. 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. CAUTION: If the breech bolt remains in the open position, check that the cut-off is not inadvertently engaged. Keep your hands away from the ejection port and disengage the cut-off (Fig. 17). • Move the carrier to insert the cartridges into the magazine through the loading gate to hook onto the cartridge retaining tooth (Fig. 23). • To fire, disengage the safety (Fig. 9) (red ring visible) and pull the trigger. • After firing the first round, release the trigger to set up the shotgun for the next round. • 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
