Safety Instructions

Exchange of Control Elements
The pistol is designed in such a way that it enables an easy exchange of the safety by
the hammer decocking element and reversely. This operation can be done without using any
special tooling. The left safety or left decocking element can be removed first after depressing
the ejector downward. Before assembling the right safety or right decocking element it is
necessary to depress the trigger bar downward.
In the safety configuration only safeties are installed. In case of the decocking
configuration besides the control elements, it is necessary to install also the spring of the
control element so that its shorter end is supported by the nose of the control element body
and the opposite end is positioned in the pin hollow (Fig. 9).
It is recommended to pass the training of the control elements exchange under
supervision by an experienced gunsmith or to refer to the guidance on the website of Ceska
zbrojovka.
CAUTION:
No further disassembly of your pistol is recommended. Should your pistol require
adjustment or repair be sure the task is entrusted to a competent gunsmith!
Cleaning the Pistol
- Clean the pistol
- Each time you use it
- If you get your pistol wet
- As soon as possible after shooting
- At least once a year in a temperate climate
- As often as once a month in a tropical climate, or other demanding environment
Cleaning the Barrel Bore and the Cartridge Chamber
If the pistol has not been fired or if only a few cartridges have been fired, clean the barrel
bore and cartridge chamber by the clean patch attached to the cleaning rod. Repeat the
cleaning, changing patches, until the last patch comes out clean.
When the barrel bore is very dirty, apply a gun cleaning solution using a cleaning brush.
Let the solvent act for about 10 minutes (this time may vary depending on the solvent agent
being used). Then thoroughly scrub out the barrel bore. Subsequently, dry the barrel bore and
cartridge chamber with a clean patch and check that all powder residues or fouling have been
removed. If necessary repeat this procedure.
The cleaning rod and the brush must be inserted into the barrel bore from the chamber,
to prevent wear or damage to the muzzle. Pass the brush all the way through the barrel bore
before reversing the movement. If you try to change directions with the brush in the barrel, the
brush could stick.
