CHECK THE GUN IS UNLOADED At various points in this manual you will be instructed to visually check the cartridge chambers of the Beretta SO10 shotgun to be certain this is unloaded. This should soon become second nature to you, as should the following precautions: • Never assume that a firearm is unloaded. • Never point or push a firearm toward yourself or another person. • Always visually check to see that the chambers are unloaded. • Engage the safety and open the shotgun by pushing the top lever to the right before handing the gun to another person. • Never take or pull this shotgun from another person unless the safety is engaged, the barrels are pivoted downwards and the chambers have been visually checked to confirm that the firearm is completely unloaded. To visually check to be certain the cartridge chambers are empty, carefully follow the steps below. ! WARNING: Keep your finger OFF THE TRIGGER and the barrels pointed in a SAFE direction. • Engage the safety by pushing the safety lever all the way rearwards. In this position the marking "S" is fully visible (Fig. 1, 3, 5 page 61). ! WARNING: When the safety lever covers the marking "S" the manual safety is DISENGAGED and the firearm is in the FIRE position (Fig. 2, 4, 6 page 61). • Push the top lever to the right and open the shotgun by levering the barrels downwards. • Check the chambers to be certain they are empty. - 74 -
