Owner’s Manual 2009

Manual safety

The Five-seveN

pistol has an ambidextrous manual safety : a

manual safety lever is on both the right and left sides of the frame

for the convenience of both right- and left-handed shooters.

The manual safety can be set at one of the following 2 positions :

• The (raised) ‘safe’ position

(NO red marks visible)

When the manual safety is at

its raised position, the

trigger and firing mechanism

is blocked from moving.

The ‘safe’ position should be selected in one of the following cases :

- When the Five-seveN

pistol is not operational (carrying, cleaning,

stored, ...)

- When preparing the Five-seveN

pistol for firing

• The (lower) ‘fire’ position

(red marks visible)

When in this mode, the

trigger can be moved and,

on the condition that a

round has been loaded in

the chamber as described in

§ 4.4, a single round will be

fired when the trigger is

pulled.
