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.
