Safety A manual safety device
is provided which prevents the weapon from firing. This switch device
is located on the left side of the weapon and is activated by the
users thumb. It serves as a block to the firing mechanism. The switch
device has only two positions, marked "S" for safe and
"F" for fire. When the safety switch lever is to the rear,
it is in the safe position. When pushed forward, the fire (unsafe)
position is achieved. It is simple and failsafe.
