Procedure
1. Lubricate the cleaning brush with gun oil and insert it into
barrel 1 via the chamber. Use brush to carefully remove all
powder residues and dirt in the barrel 1 and chamber.
2. Wipe powder residues and oil from the barrel bore and
chamber with cleaning patches.
3. Clean external surfaces of barrel 1 with a brush dipped in
gun oil.
4. Clean the metal guide in the frame 13, the inside and out-
side surfaces of the slide 4, the locking insert 14 and recoil
spring 3 with a brush or rag. Then oil or grease with a cloth
impregnated with gun oil or grease.
5. Lightly oil bores of barrel and chamber.
6. If the weapon is extremely dirty (water, sand, mud etc.), in
addition to normal cleaning, the grip plate should be
removed (see Sect. 7.1, Point 9). This permits thorough
cleaning of the trigger mechanism.
7.2 Cleaning the pistol
Never clean barrel 1 from the muzzle end and do not use
steel wire brush as it can destroy the smooth surface of the
bore. Use a suitable cleaning rod and brush of matching
calibre (see Sect. 12).
Solvents can be harmful to the surface finish of the pistol.
Read the manufacturer’s warnings and indications before
using solvents or cleansers.
