Always push the cable into padlock until it locks securely. After removing the key, tug on the cable to ensure the connection is secure.
Do not work the firearm’s action with the lock in place. This may damage the lock and/or the firearm.
If the lock’s plastic coating becomes damaged or separated from the steel cable or the lock face, replace the lock.
Keep cable and lock outside of trigger guard at all times.
Store key to the gun lock and the firearm separately. Be sure to store the key in a location inaccessible to unauthorized persons, particularly children.
