SAFETY DEVICESThe weapon has no externally located safety devices which need to be actuated separately. All the
safety or safety release devices function automatically.
1. TRIGGER SAFETYThis is incorporated into the trigger (26) in the form of a lever, and in the untouched state blocks the
trigger from being moved backwards. If the weapon is allowed to drop, or if the trigger is subject to
an off centre, lateral pressure, it is still impossible for a shot to be fired. This safety can only be
released by...

3. Pull back the slide with free hand, and allow it to spring forwards into the final position. The
trigger finger of the shooting hand remains outside the trigger guard. The weapon is now
secured and ready to fire.
4. After the last round has been fired, the slide remains open. Remove the empty magazine from
the weapon by pushing the magazine catch (19). Insert a new magazine and then either push
the slide stop lever (27) downwards (see photo), or pull the slide slightly backwards and allow it
to spring...

4. Removal of the slide (see photo) is carried out as follows:
– Grasp the pistol in the right or left hand in such a way that four fingers rest over the slide and
the thumb rests on the rear side of the receiver.
– Using the fingers draw back the slide (1) about 3mm
– Pull the slide lock (21)
– Push the slide forwards and separate it from the receiver.
If the slide is drawn back too far (more than 3mm), the trigger will move to the foremost forward
position. The slide will then not separate from the...

– With the slide removed, it is not permitted to tension and spring the firing pin (5) forward,
since this could damage the firing pin safety.
– The steel insert located in the cover platte (15) to the slide must not be removed.
4. No liability whatever can be accepted if inexpertly manufactured or inexpertly filled ammunition
is used.
All liability whatever is excluded in the event of these instructions not being observed.
