MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Stripping for Cleaning - Disassembly
POINT YOUR PISTOL IN A SAFE DIRECTION!
1. Remove the magazine. The pistol must not be disassembled with the magazine
inserted!
2. MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO CARTRIDGE IN THE CHAMBER!
3. Pull the trigger and make sure that it remains in the rear position.
4. Grasp the frame with your palm, use the fingers of the same hand to grasp the rear
part of the slide from the top. Use your fingers to move the slide back by no more than
5 mm (Fig. 7).
5. Use the fingers of your other hand to push the disassembly plate downwards until it
stops. (Fig. 8).
6. Release the pressure on the slide and remove it from the frame (Fig. 9)
7. Remove the recoil spring from the slide and finally the barrel.
Note: Before reassembling the slide on the frame, the trigger must be put to the rear (pulled)
position to prevent the frame colliding with the protrusion on the trigger bar.
No further disassembly is needed for routine maintenance. When a great number of
cartridges has been fired, it is advisable to also disassemble magazine and to entrust the
pistol to a competent gunsmith for the firing pin cleaning.
Magazine Disassembly
There is a difference depending on the magazine design. If there is a hole in the
magazine base, push the base lock through the hole and slide the base slightly forward. If
the rear part of the magazine is fitted with a sliding base lock, move it into disassembly
position and slide the base slightly forward. Cover the base with your thumb to hold the
spring and use the other hand to slide the base completely out of its guiding rails. Be careful
during the disassembly as the spring could fly out, or even cause an injury.
CAUTION:
No further disassembly of your pistol is recommended. Should your pistol require
adjustment or repair be sure the task is entrusted to a competent gunsmith!
