OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MECHANICAL SAFETY
Read and understand this entire manual and its safety warnings before
handling the firearm.
The safety button is located at the rear of the trigger guard (See Figure 1a and 1b)
and must be manually moved to the desired position by the shooter.
To put the safety in the “ON” (SAFE) position, the safety button must be pushed
from the left side (side opposite the ejection port) so that it moves all the way to
the right. The button must always be pushed fully to the right until it moves no
further to be in the “ON” (SAFE) position. (See Figure 1a).
The safety button is designed to function only as described above and
should not be reversed. Do not attempt to remove or reverse the safety
button. Doing so will result in an unsafe condition which can cause
serious injury or death.
Remember, a firearm’s manual safety is a mechanical device which can
never replace safe firearm handling practices.
Never rely on any mechanical mechanism or safety device to prevent
the dangers of careless handling or pointing a firearm in an unsafe
direction.
