If the rifle still will not fire:
• Put safety lever in the “S” (SAFE) position;
• Unload per section 5.0;
• Clean weapon per section 9.1;
• Load; and
• Place safety lever on position “F” (FIRE), and continue firing.
If the rifle malfunction cannot be corrected, the rifle should be returned to SIG SAUER Inc. for evaluation by a factory
trained technician.
In the case of a malfunction, the following steps must be followed:
• If the weapon cannot be unloaded immediately and there is any danger of self-ignition due to a hot barrel, wait at
least 15 minutes before manipulating the weapon.
• The weapon must remain pointed in a safe direction as long as it is loaded.
WARNING: If your rifle stops firing with a live round in the chamber of a hot barrel (a misfire or jam), remove
the round immediately. If you cannot remove the round within 10 seconds, remove the magazine and wait
at least 15 minutes with the rifle pointing in a safe direction. This way, neither the user nor any other person
would be injured by the possibility of a round “cooking-off” (a round detonating due to the heat of the barrel).
Keep your face away from the ejection port while clearing a hot chamber.
