Owner’s Manual 2016

Manual safety

The FN 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 is blocked from

moving.

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

- At the end of the safety checks

- When the FN Five-seveN

pistol is not operational (carrying, cleaning,

stored, ...)

- When preparing the FN 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 (always keep the

muzzle of your pistol pointed

in a safe direction).
