SIG 556 Operators Manual 17 P/N 1511203 VER 12.7.2
OPERATION OF SAFETY
The SIG 556 has a manual safety which is located on the left and
right side of the trigger casing, just forward of the pistol grip and
above the trigger. The safety levers may be operated from either
side.
The safety is “on” when the safety lever is in the “S” (SAFE)
position and the trigger guard is closed. In this position, the rifle
cannot be fired with a normal pull of the trigger.
The safety lever should always be in the “S” (SAFE) position
except when the shooter is actually firing the rifle. The safety
lever should be moved to the “S” (SAFE) position whenever the
shooter ceases firing, even temporarily.
The safety is “off” when the safety lever is in the “F” (FIRE)
position. Thus when the safety lever is in the “F” (FIRE) position
the rifle will fire in the semi-automatic mode each time the trigger
is pulled until all the ammunition is expended.
