SPECIFIC WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

Specific warnings and cautions applying to the system/equipment covered bythis manual are summarized below. These warnings and cautions are repeatedelsewhere in the manual following paragraph headings and immediately preceding thetext to which they apply.

WARNING

Under no circumstances shall untrained personnel attempt to use this manual as a textforself-teaching. Serious injury or loss of life could result. (Page 1-1).

Black powder is very sensitive to friction, heat, and shock. It is one of the mostdangerous explosives to handle. It retains its explosive properties indefinitely if keptdry. Black powder deteriorates rapidly with absorption of moisture and may bedesensitized by water. However, separating the water from the residue permits thepowder to dry and regain explosive properties. Combustible material that has absorbedliquids leached from black powder constitutes a severe fire hazard and may beexplosive. To avoid serious injury or loss of life, exercise extreme care when handlingblack powder. (Page 3-9).

Ammunition or explosives that show signs of exudation are hazardous and have thepotential to cause injury or death. Only qualified EOD personnel can handle anddispose of these items. (Page 3-12).

Small arms ammunition is a fire hazard and can be a missile hazard resulting in injuryor death. (Page 4-1).

Even when firing blank ammunition, bore obstructions cause excessive pressure todevelop. This may result in damage to equipment, surrounding area, possible injury ordeath. (Page 4-1).

When using any conventional ammunition (particularly AP), remember that the coreof a bullet that fails to penetrate the target may ricochet. The range of ricochet for bulletsand the angle of ricochet relative to the line of fire depend on several factors. Alwaysexercise extreme care to ensure that ricochets do not present a safety hazard topersonnel engaged in training or to bystanders. (Page 4-5).

After a failure to fire, keep the weapon trained on the target for the prescribed timeinterval. Ensure all personnel stand clear of the muzzle. (Page 4-6).

Only fire shotgun cartridges in authorized shotguns. Under no circumstances is thefiring of shotgun cartridges in shotguns having Damascus or other twist steel barrelspermitted. Injury or death can result. (Page 4-9).

Do not attempt to use this cartridge in any weapon other than the M287 Target PracticeLauncher. Due to the light propellant charge in the M939, other weapons willexperience function failures and operators may experience minor burns. (Page 4-27).

Command Standard Operating Procedures for Force-on-Force training shall be fol-lowed at all times. All weapons, magazines and personnel shall be searched for live(non-training) ammunition to prevent the mix-up of service rounds with trainingrounds. The marking ammunition shall not be fired at the head or unprotected areasof any personnel as injury could result. (Page 4-30).

These signal cartridges contain lead oxide. Use adequate ventilation and avoid breathingthe dust or fumes. After handling or exposure by contact, thoroughly wash hands beforeeating or smoking. Keep away from food or food products. Serious illness or death could result.(Page 4-33).

Unauthorized personnel may not use high-pressure test cartridges. Serious injury ordeath may result. (Page 4-38).

Do not use the M195 rifle grenade cartridge as a substitute for the M200 blank cartridge.Serious injury or loss of life could result. (Page 4-39).

Do not use the 7.62mm M64 Grenade Cartridge as a substitute for the M82 blankcartridge. Serious injury or loss of life could result. (Pages 4-44, 4-50).

Unauthorized personnel must not use high-pressure test cartridges. This cartridge is notfor use in field weapons. Its only used for high-pressure testing of weapons.Unauthorized use can render the weapons useless and result in serious injury or death.(Page 4-46).

Do not approach or handle a "dud" (a fired projectile which fails to explode on impact).The dud could explode any time after firing, causing severe injury or death. (Page 5-12).

The 40mm, practice, M385 cartridge is not a dummy round. It should be used tofunction fire the launcher in an authorized area only. (Page 5-12).

Upon removal from packaging, and prior to firing, all horseshoe shaped propellantcharges shall be inspected for damage, discoloration and/or presence of foam. (Pages6-1, 6-20).

Cartridges found with punctured propellant increments may leak propellant resultingin critically short rounds and should not be fired. Leaking propellant charges shall beremoved and disposed of in accordance with local procedures. During training, ifmission allows, cartridges may be fired at a lower charge. (Pages 6-1, 6-20).

Discolored increments are considered serviceable unless other visual conditions suchas fin corrosion provide indications that deterioration resulted from exposure. Majorcorrosion on fuze or fin is a result of moisture contamination within sensitivecomponents which could result in malfunctions such as duds and misfires. (Pages 6-1, 6-20).

Plastic foam material causes build-up or residue in weapon, which could result in hangfires or misfires. All plastic foam residue shall be brushed away from propellantincrements by hand. (Pages 6-1, 6-20).

When fired in temperatures below 0F (-17C), excessive short rounds may occur.Maximum allowable rate of fire is 30 rounds per minute for periods not exceeding 1 minute,18 rounds per minute for periods not exceeding 4 minutes, or 8 rounds per minuteindefinitely. (Page 6-5).

repacking unfired ammunition, do not insert the rounds fin-end-first in the container. (Page6-30).

Firing the M301A1/M301A2 cartridge with less than two propellant charges (Charge2) is not authorized. (Page 6-30).

Firing the M301A3 cartridge with less than three propellant charges (Charge 3) is notauthorized. (Page 6-30).

If using a metal container to protect propellant when preparing chaff cartridges forfiring, do not allow the cartridge base to strike the bottom of the container. Whenrepacking unfired ammunition do not insert rounds fin-end-first into the container.(Page 6-41).

When firing HE cartridge M374 at low charges (3 and below), occasional short roundsimpacting down to approximately 70 percent of the expected range. The low chargesresult in a wider dispersion pattern than indicated in applicable filing tables. (Pages 6-42, 6-46).

Do not fire cartridges assembled with PD fuze M519 over the heads of troops. (Pages 6-42, 6-46).

When firing as many as 10 of these cartridges with maximum charge in the 81mm M29mortar, the rate of fire shall not exceed 12 rounds per minute. (Pages 6-42, 6-46, 6-48).

Do not use more than two charge increments when firing the M374A3 cartridge in M1mortar. (Page 6-44).

When firing HE Cartridge M375A2 at low charges (3 and below), expect occasionalshort rounds impacting down to approximately 70 percent of the expected range. Thelow charges result in a wider dispersion pattern than indicated in applicable firingtables. (Page 6-48).

Do not drop fire the Mk 120 Mod 0 cartridge. The cartridge is operational within 10feet (3.04 meters) from the barrel. (Page 6-50).

Do not fire this cartridge over the heads of friendly troops. (Page 6-50).

Do not exceed seven increment charges when firing the Mk 120 Mod 0 cartridge. (Page6-50).

This cartridge is to be fired only from the Mk 2 Mod 0 shipboard mortar. (Page 6-50).

Handle mines with care at all times. The explosive elements in fuzes, primers,detonators, and boosters are particularly sensitive to mechanical shock, friction, staticelectricity, and high temperature. (Page 8-1).

Do not drop, drag, tumble, walk on the corners, or strike, as in lining up a stack, boxesor crates containing mines. Electrically ground the boxes whenever practicable andprotect them from high temperatures. (Page 8-1).

Use extreme care when handling the detonators for this mine. A severe shock, such

as dropping the detonator on a solid surface, may cause it to function. Never carrydetonators on the person. After arming the mine handle it with care. Do not drop orthrow it. Place it in position carefully. If there is evidence of damage, booby trapping,or malfunction when proceeding to disarm or remove an installed mine, do not attemptto disarm or remove it. Mark it for destruction in place. (Page 8-6).

If this mine is buried with the top of the pressure plate flush with the ground, it will causea nonlethal casualty to any person who steps on it. (Page 8-6).

If the positive safety pin is hard to remove, replace the fuze with a new one. Duringinstallation and arming, do not install the trip wires so taut that they exert pull on therelease pin ring. The mine may detonate accidentally upon removal of the safety pins.(Page 8-8).

When buried with the tops of the pressure prongs even with the surface of the ground,sympathetic detonation occurs when M16 mines laid approximately 1.5 to 2 meters(4.92 to 6.56 feet) apart. (Page 8-8).

Do not attempt to neutralize a damaged mine. Destroy it in place with a preparedcharge. Another method is to attach a 50 meter (164.04 foot) length of wire or rope tothe head of the fuze. From a protected position, pull the mine from the hole. Be sureto examine the protected position for mines before occupying it. (Page 8-9).

During disarming or removal, install positive safety pin first. If the fuze malfunctions,the positive safety pin stops any action that starts. (Page 8-9).

During disarming or removal, before cutting a taut wire, always examine the other endto see that it is not anchored to another mine. (Page 8-9).

Position the mine so friendly troops forward and to the sides of the mine (Figures 8-7and 8-8) are not endangered. The firing position should be at least 16 meters (52.5 feet)to the rear or to the sides of the mine. (Page 8-16).

Assemble the shorting plug and dust cover combination to the connector of the blastingcap assembly. Perform this before placing the blasting cap in the detonator well. (Page8-16).

Ensure the face of the mine marked FRONT TOWARD ENEMY and the arrows on topof the mine point in the direction of the enemy. (Page 8-16).

The mine firing position should be in a foxhole or in a shielded or protected positionat least 16 meters (52.5 feet) behind or to the side of the mine. (Page 8-16).

Before connecting the blasting cap assembly to the firing device, the safety bail mustbe in the safe position. Ensure all personnel must take cover at least 250 meters (820.20feet) away from the front and sides of the mine. Also ensure all personnel take coverat least 100 meters (328 feet) to the rear of the mine. (Page 8-18).

Before and after completion of firing device and blasting cap continuity tests, ascertain

SW010-AD-GTP-010

xviii

that the firing device bail is in the safe position. (Page 8-18).

Before connecting the blasting cap to the test set and firing device, Figure 8-10, thesafety bail must be in the safe position. All personnel must be under cover at least 250meters (820 feet) from the front and sides of the mine and at least 100 meters (328 feet)to the rear of the mine. (Page 8-18).

To arm the mine by the methods below requires a thorough knowledge of the use ofexplosives and demolition materials. Also required is a knowledge of the use ofdemolition materials and the use and installation of land mines and booby traps. SeeSW060-AA-MMA-010. (Page 8-20).

Secure the firing device so the mine will not be dislodged by a pull of the detonatingcord or trip wire during emplacement. If the mine becomes dislodged, it will be aimedin a direction other than intended. (Page 8-20).

Secure the firing device so as to prevent the mine being dislodged by a pull of thedetonating cord or trip wire during emplacement. Dislodging the mine can cause itspoint of aim to be in a direction other than intended. (Page 8-20).

Do not fire a dislodged or overturned mine. It is a potential hazard to friendly personnel.(Page 8-21).

Do not handle or jar any mine considered a dud or in an unsafe condition. Refer it toExplosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) for destruction. (Page 8-22).

Render the firing device safe by returning the safety bail to the safe position prior toperforming the steps below. (Page 8-22).

Consider duds or mines that appear to have been run over by a vehicle or otherwisedamaged after emplacement as unsafe. Refer such mines to EOD for destruction. (Page8-22).

Ensure the firing device has not fired or the mine run over. If the firing device has firedor the mine run appears damaged, refer the mine to EOD. (Page 8-22).

Render the firing device safe by replacing all safety pins prior to performing the stepsbelow. (Page 8-22).

Separate nonelectric blasting caps and detonating cord that are crimped together onlyby cutting the blasting cap free of the detonating cord. Use a non-sparking knife or anM2 crimping device for this procedure. (Page 8-22).

If facilities are not available for cutting the blasting cap free of the detonating cord,destroy the crimped explosive components. The only exception is if these componentsare for immediate reuse. (Page 8-22).

Friendly troops should avoid areas mined with the M15 antitank mine. (Page 8-25).

Put no pressure on the pressure plate of the fuze when inserting it into the fuze wire.

SW010-AD-GTP-010

xix

To assure proper clearance between the fuze pressure plate button and the arming plugshutter, the fuze must be fully seated on the internal shoulder of the mine fuze well. Ifthe fuze is not fully seated, the button on the fuze pressure plate interferes with theshutter movement in arming the fuze. If the fuze does not seat fully, remove it andinvestigate. (Page 8-26).

Ice in the fuze well during fuzing operations can cause a serious accident. Duringfreezing weather, ensure none is present. (Page 8-26).

Never leave the setting knob pointing to DANGER. (Page 8-26).

Because of tolerances permitted in manufacture, the possibility exists that the pressureplate of the M603 Fuze extends too high. This makes it difficult if not impossible toturn the knob on the arming plug to the ARMED position. Do not attempt to force theknob but, if necessary, unscrew the arming plug just enough to allow the knob to beturned freely. Never leave the setting knob pointed to DANGER. (Page 8-26).

If taut wires are encountered when attempting to neutralize the mine, do not cut thewires. To neutralize the mine, attach a long rope or wire to the mine without disturbingthe taut trip wire and pull the mine from the ground while in an unmined protectedposition. If this method is not practicable, refer the matter to specially trained personnel(EOD). (Page 8-28).

When removing the mine with along rope or wire, use extreme caution. The mine maydetonate. (Pages 8-28, 8-31).

Do not attempt to remove any fuze apparently frozen in place or difficult to remove.(Page 8-28).

Ensure the fuze firing pin has not been fired and is in the SAFE position beforeassembling the detonator. (Page 8-29).

When attempting to neutralize the mine, do not cut any encountered taut wires. Toneutralize the mine, attach a long rope or wire to the mine without disturbing the tauttrip wire. Pull the mine from the ground while in an unmined protected position. If thismethod is not practicable, refer the matter to specially trained personnel (EOD). (Page8-31).

If pressure on the safety lever is relaxed after the safety clip and safety pin have beenremoved, it is possible that the striker can rotate and strike the primer while the throweris still holding the grenade. This is called milking the grenade. Throwers must beinstructed to maintain enough pressure on the safety lever so the striker cannot rotate.(Page 9-1).

This device burns for a considerable time and develops intense heat. Handle this devicecarefully to avoid accidental initiation. (Page 9-6).

Do not remove the safety cotter pin except in actual preparation for launching. Holdthe release lever firmly against the grenade body until the device is thrown. (Page 9-6).

SW010-AD-GTP-010

Do not point the rifle toward friendly personnel, equipment, or material when loading,unloading, or preparing to fire. (Pages 9-6, 9-35).

Using this grenade with a M206A1 Fuze without safety clip is not authorized. (Pages9-10, 9-23).

Do not remove the adhesive aluminum foil from the main body of the Mk 141Diversionary Charge. The foil serves as an electrostatic shield. (Page 9-12).

When unpacking the diversionary charge from the shipping and storage container fordeployment to the target area, do not remove the charge from the heat sealed barrierbag or from the protective plastic sleeve. The charge shall only be removed from thebarrier bag and plastic sleeve at the target area just prior to use. Retain the protectiveplastic sleeves for replacement of all used charges. (Pages 9-13, 9-14).

The charge body is made of foam. Avoid excessive rough handling. (Page 9-13).

Use of the Mk 141 diversionary charge can cause hearing damage. Ear protection mustbe worn, which will provide the user ear protection for 185 db impact noise. (Page 9-13).

Any alteration of the safety pin angle (bending, flexing, removal and reinsertion,changing of angle, etc.) from the position of the straight leg and one leg at 90 degreesrelative to the other can result in an increase in the pull force. This higher force mayfracture internal structure thereby causing premature function in hand. (Page 9-13).

Do not remove the safety pin until ready to use. Once safety pin has been removeddiversionary charge must be thrown. Do not attempt to reinstall the safety pin. (Page9-14).

Do not look directly at the display of the Mk 141 Diversionary Charge. (Page 9-14).

Do not attempt to retrieve an armed Mk 141 Diversionary Charge. (Page 9-14).

Even if equipped with a protective mask, do not stay directly downwind from burningchemical grenades. (Page 9-16).

Wait at least 30 minutes before approaching a suspected dud-fired grenade. Dampnessor deterioration may have prolonged burning of the pyrotechnic delay. (Pages 9-1, 9-16).

The M52A2 has a blast effect when ignited that shatters the grenade body and disbursesthe CS agent. When riot control use is required within confined spaces, the M52A2blast effect may be undesirable and the M47 (G922) or M7A3 (G963) may bepreferable. (Page 9-17).

Modification of the grenade for electrical ignition is not authorized for untrainedpersonnel.(Page 9-19).

This device contains WP. Handle it with extreme care to prevent damage that mightcause leakage of its fluid or premature initiation. (Page 9-23).

Do not attempt to recover fired hand grenades immediately. Allow them to cool for 30minutes. (Pages 9-25, 9-26, 9-27).

Never attempt to use a detonating fuze with a practice hand grenade. (Pages 9-25, 9-27).

Under no circumstances attempt to use a grenade body that has any signs of cracks orweakness. Never attempt to reinforce the standard practice charge by adding orsubstituting other explosives. (Pages 9-25, 9-27).

Do not insert more than one practice charge into the grenade. Do not substitute anyother explosive for the authorized practice charge. (Pages 9-25, 9-27).

Fuze fragments may exit the hole in the base of the grenade body, causing injury.(Pages 9-26, 9-27).

M206A1 and M6A3 fuzes without safety clips are not authorized. (Page 9-31).

The recoil from firing rifle grenades is considerable. If fired from against the shoulder,ensure the rifle butt has the freedom to move with the recoil. If braced against a hardsurface, the shock may crack or break the stock. (Pages 9-35, 9-39, 11-31).

If installed and not launched immediately, reinsert the safety pin before removing thegrenade from the rifle or carbine. Only trained EOD personnel have authorization toapproach duds. (Page 11-32).

These signal cartridges contain lead oxide. Use adequate ventilation and avoidbreathing the dust or fumes. After handling or exposure by contact, thoroughly washhands before eating or smoking. Keep away from food or food products. Seriousillness or death could result. (Page 11-6).

Fire canopy smoke cartridges so a falling, ignited projectile will not descend uponfriendly troops or equipment. Damage to equipment, serious injury, or death couldresult. (Page 11-13).

Inspect gun bores for fragments after each firing because the M60 primers ruptureoccasionally when fired. (Page 11-15).

Do not disturb the trip wires. Ensure there is no tension on the trip wires. (Page 11-22).

Do not attempt to disarm or remove any mine frozen in or to the ground. (Page 11-22).
