7.5 Care of the pistol
• Always keep your pistol clean and in good working
order.
• Clean the pistol after 250 rounds, before every load
change and after every use. The chamber in particular
must be thoroughly cleaned.
• Never change or repair parts of your pistol yourself.
• Have your pistol checked once a year by a qualified
gunsmith or armourer, as defects, wear and tear, cor-
rosion etc. may not always be visible from the exterior.
• For repair or service work, however, we recommend
that you send your pistol to the manufacturer. The
manufacturer has a constant supply of replacement
parts in stock.
• If you order replacement parts without returning the
pistol, you are responsible for ordering the correct
replacement part and its installation by a qualified
gunsmith or armourer.
• The manufacturer and importer cannot be held liable
for faults in the pistol or malfunctions if the pistol has
been modified or parts that are not original partshave
been fitted by third parties.
