• Release bolt; and
• Place safety lever in the “F” (FIRE) position,
continue firing.
If the weapon still will not fire:
• Put safety lever in the “S” (SAFE) position;
• Unload per section 5.0;
• Clean weapon per section 9.1;
• Load; and
• Place safety lever on position “F” (FIRE), and continue
firing.
If the rifle malfunction cannot be corrected, the rifle should be
returned to SIGARMS, Inc. for evaluation by a factory trained
technician.
In the case of a malfunction, the following steps must be
followed:
• If the weapon cannot be unloaded immediately and there
is any danger of self-ignition due to a hot barrel, wait at
least 15 minutes before manipulating the weapon.
• The weapon must remain pointed in a safe direction as
long as it is loaded.
WARNING: If your rifle stops firing with a live round in the
chamber of a hot barrel (a misfire or jam), remove the round
immediately. If you cannot remove the round within 10
seconds, remove the magazine and wait at least 15 minutes
with the rifle pointing in a safe direction. This way, neither
the user nor any other person would be injured by the
possibility of a round “cooking-off” (a round detonating due
to the heat of the barrel). Keep your face away from the
ejection port while clearing a hot chamber.
WARNING: A cartridge fires when the firing pin impacts the
primer, and also can be “discharged” before it is chambered if
its primer receives a sharp blow. If a cartridge hangs up,
