But, as with any hobby, carelessness or negligence can make reloading hazardous. This product has been designed from the beginning with the user’s safety in mind. When reloading, safety rules must be followed. By observing these rules, the chance of a hazardous occurrence causing personal injury or property damage is minimized. GENERAL • Use all equipment as the manufacturer recommends. Study the instructions carefully and become thoroughly familiar with the operation of the product. If you do not have written instructions, request a copy from the equipment manufacturer. • Don’t take short cuts. Attempting to bypass established procedures is an invitation to an accident. • Observe “good housekeeping” in the reloading area. Keep tools and components neat, clean and orderly. Promptly and completely clean up primer and powderspills. • Reload only when you can give your undivided attention. Do not reload when fatigued or ill, or under the influence of medication or alcohol. Never smoke while reloading. Develop a reloading routine to avoid mistakes. Don’t rush—load at a leisurely pace. • Always wear adequate eye protection to protect your eyes from flying particles. You assume unnecessary risk when reloading without wearing safety glasses.
