1 General instructions
Be sure to read through these instructions
carefully before any manipulation on this
SIG SAUER pistol.
Understanding these instructions and the
technically correct implementation of the
information contained therein are imperative to
correct preparation and safety during handling,
maintenance and care of this SIG SAUER pistol.
Do not use the pistol until you have fully
understood all safety instructions and its handling
procedures. Should you require further
information, do not hesitate to contact your dealer,
importer or the manufacturer.
Please observe the local and national legislation
governing the ownership, carrying and use of
firearms.
Be aware that these pistols, like all firearms, are
dangerous.
The pistol accompanying these Handling and
Safety Instructions has been sold under the
express understanding that the manufacturer and
the importer of the pistol decline any responsibility
for consequences of manipulations on the pistol or
use of the pistol.
This applies in particular to liability for bodily harm
or damage to property resulting in part or in whole
to:
– use with criminal intent or negligent use,
– improper or careless handling,
– defective, incorrect, hand-loaded or reloaded
ammunition,
– inadequate care of the pistol (e.g. corrosion,
damage),
– disregard of malfunctions,
– resale in contradiction of regional legislation
and regulations,
– other circumstances beyond our direct and
immediate control.
These limitation apply regardless of whether
liability is asserted on the basis of contract,
negligence or strict liability (including any failure to
warn).
The manufacturer and the importer are not liable
for incidental or consequential damages such as
loss of use of property, commercial loss or loss of
earnings and profits.
2 Safety regulations
•
Never use the pistol under the influence of
alcohol or drugs, during illness or other
complaints; they may influence your
judgement and reflexes.
• Always consider the pistol as loaded and
unsafe until you have verified that it is not by
means of the unloading procedure
(see Section 5.8).
• During all manipulations, keep the muzzle of
the pistol pointed in a safe direction. Safe
directions are defined as areas where there
are no people, other living creatures or other
people's property.
• Never point the pistol at doors, window panes,
walls, concrete, stones or other flat surfaces
(including water).
Shots can penetrate such surfaces or be
deflected into unsafe directions by them.
• Never aim at yourself or other living creatures.
• Never rely on safety mechanisms. They are
never a substitute for careful and correct
handling of the pistol.
Safety devices may sometimes be defective or
fail.
You alone are the best safety device!
• Always handle your pistol as if the safety
mechanisms were defective.
The best safety device is the correct, well-
exercised and secure handling of the pistol.
• Never shoot a pistol into which there has been
ingress of water, sand, dirt or other foreign
bodies.
• Never decock the hammer by restraining the
hammer and simultaneously pulling the trigger.
• Never let a loaded pistol out of your hands.
