GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS
1.0. Safety Information
The safety warnings in this manual are important. By
understanding the dangers inherent in the use of any firearm, and
by taking the precautions described herein, you can enjoy
complete safety in the use of your pistol. Failure to heed any
of these warnings may result in serious injury to you or others,
as well as severe damage to the firearm or other property. SIG
SAUER Inc. shall not be responsible in any manner
whatsoever for malfunctioning of the firearm, physical injury or
property damage resulting in whole or in part from:
1) criminal or negligent discharge;
2) improper or careless handling;
3) unauthorized modifications;
4) defective, improper, hand-loaded, or reloaded ammunition;
5) corrosion;
6) neglect; or
7) other influences beyond our direct and immediate control.
This limitation applies regardless of whether liability is asserted
on the basis of contract, negligence, or strict liability (including
any failure to warn). Under no circumstance shall SIG SAUER
Inc. be liable for incidental or consequential damages, such as
loss of use of property, commercial loss, and loss of earnings
or profits.
1.1. Protect Your Eyes And Ears
Always wear safety glasses and ear plugs or “earmuff” type pro-
tectors whenever you are shooting. Always make certain that per-
sons close to you are similarly protected. Unprotected eyes may
be injured by powder, gas, carbon residue, lubricant, metallic par-
ticles, or similar debris which may emanate occasionally from any
firearm in normal use. Without ear protection, repeated exposure
to shooting noise may lead to cumulative, permanent hearing loss.
