The safety lever should always be in the “S” (SAFE) position except when the shooter is actually firing the rifle. The
safety lever should be moved to the “S” (SAFE) position whenever the shooter ceases firing, even temporarily.
The safety is “OFF”
when the safety lever is in the “F” (FIRE), “3” (3 SEMI-AUTOMATIC BURST) or “A”
(AUTOMATIC) positions. When the safety lever is in the “F” position the rifle will fire in the semiautomatic mode each
time the trigger is pulled until all the ammunition is expended. When the safety lever is in the “3” position the rifle will
fire a three round burst when the trigger is depressed and held. Releasing the trigger prior to firing three rounds will
reset the three round burst mechanism, so the next time the trigger is depressed and held a three round burst will fire.
When the safety lever is in the “A” position the rifle will continue to fire until the trigger is released or all ammunition is
expended. Releasing the trigger in “3” or “A” modes will interrupt firing until the trigger is again depressed.
