ENGLISH
Always be sure that the barrel of your STEYR AUG is clear
of obstructions before firing it. Remove any obstructions before fir-
ing your STEYR AUG so that it will function safely and correctly. Any
obstruction in the barrel could prevent the STEYR AUG from firing prop-
erly and result in death or serious personal injury and damage to the
STEYR AUG.
It is possible that a cartridge may be in the chamber when
a loaded magazine is being removed from, or inserted into, your STEYR
AUG. A cartridge in the chamber will discharge when the trigger is
pulled when the safety is in the “fire” position, whether or not a maga-
zine is in your STEYR AUG. Therefore, never leave your STEYR AUG
unattended, even when the magazine is removed. You must always
verify that the chamber is empty before field stripping your STEYR AUG
for cleaning or any other reason.
Always wear safety glasses when cleaning your STEYR AUG
to protect your eyes from cleaning materials.
Always make sure that no ammunition is located in the area
where you clean your STEYR AUG. Cleaning solvents can affect the
primer and powder in ammunition and cause it to malfunction. This
could result in a bullet being pushed into the barrel of your STEYR AUG
and getting stuck. Firing another round with a bullet stuck in the barrel
could cause the barrel to burst and result in death or serious personal
injury, in addition to damaging your STEYR AUG.
