Transport Safety mechanisms

4 Transporting the pistol

WARNING!
Uncontrolled discharge of shot May lead to death or severe injuries
For your own safety and the safety of others,
always transport the pistol unloaded (see section 6.7 and 6.8), decocked and closed.
Never carry a pistol with the hammer cocked
and a round in the chamber.
Always carry the pistol so that if you fall or
slip, you always maintain control of the muzzle.
Transport the pistol separate from the
ammunition, in a locked case.
Keep the firearm out of the reach of children,
and other inexperienced or unauthorized persons.
Follow all applicable Federal, State, & local
regulations regarding the transport of firearms.

5 Safety mechanisms

WARNING!
Uncontrolled shot discharge Possibly death or serious injuries
Never completely trust any safety
mechanism. Any safety mechanism can break down or malfunction. The safest pistol is one that is fully unloaded.

5.1 Manual safety Engaging manual safety:

1. Push the safety lever (manual safety) 46 down fully to engage (see Fig. 6 on page 13). This prevents firing of the pistol.
Disengaging manual safety:
1. Push safety lever (manual safety) 46 up fully to disengage (see Fig. 6 on page 13). Red dot is visible. This allows the pistol to be fired.

5.2 Integral safety lock (key operated)

Locking: (see Fig. 5, on page 8)
WARNING!
Uncontrolled shot discharge Possibly death or serious injuries
Pistol must be decocked.
1. Insert key into opening at bottom rear of the grip.
2. Push key to depress lock and rotate 90 degrees.
3. Remove key leaving end of lock below the grip surface (see Fig. 5, on page 8, right).
This locking feature prevents the firing of th e pistol.
Unlocking: (see Fig. 4, left/right)
WARNING!
Uncontrolled shot discharge Possibly death or serious injuries

5.2.1 Magazine safety

Removing the magazine fully from the pistol prevents the pistol from being fired. The magazine must be fully inserted into the magazine well in order to fire the pistol.

6 Handling the pistol

6.1 General

The pistol is generally delivered preserved with a thin, protective grease and oil coating and must be stripped before being used for the first time, protective oil or grease removed and lubricated again. “First use“ (see section 9).
Procedure:
1. Strip pistol (see section 9.1).
2. Clean and relubricate pistol (see section 9.2).
3. Assemble pistol (see section 9.3).

6.2 Ammunition

WARNING!
Inadmissible ammunition Possibly death or serious injuries and
damage to the pistol
For your pistol, use only commercial grade
ammunition in its original packing for which corresponds with the calibre of the pistol. The correct calibre is imprinted on the pistol .22 Long Rifle.
Never use reloaded, “refurbished”, hand-
loaded, non-standard ammunition or ammunition of a different calibre.
Never use dirty, wet, corroded, bent,
damaged or oiled ammunition.
Never leave the ammunition lying
unattended.
8US06.01
Page 10
Handling
Information:
The .22 LR ammunition spectrum ranges from very light loads for single loader guns to sport load, utility load and on through to high speed rounds. Unfortunately, however, it is not possible to adjust a semi-automatic gun to all loads.
We have therefore decided to make an adjustment to the loads that have priority for use with the MOSQUITO, which are the two major groups, utility and high-speed rounds. So to increase the round compatibility, we provide two slide springs for every pistol. The bigger bored version is designed for high-speed loads and is fitted in the pistol with delivery. The simple coiled smaller spring (marked white) is for standard loads and is supplied with the pistol.
Tip:
It has been proven that many types of utility rounds function more smoothly if the rounds are lightly oiled.
WARNING!
Uncontrolled shot discharge Possibly death or serious injuries
Never oil high-speed rounds, as the
pistol can unbolt too quickly while shooting.

6.3 Loading the magazine Procedure:

1. Place round on feeder close to the magazine lips.
2. Push the side lock on the magazine down.
3. Only load the number of rounds that are to be shot (max.10 rounds).
The number of inserted rounds can be determined through the slot on the magazine.

Handling

6.4 Loading the pistol (ready for firing) Procedure:

WARNING!
Lacking in awareness of potential dangers Possibly death or serious injuries
Never load or unload the pistol inside a
vehicle, inside a building or any other enclosed space (except in a designated firing range).
Before loading always wipe off any excess
grease and oil and check to see if there are any foreign objects/ material in the barrel.
Always keep the muzzle of the pistol pointed
in a safe direction.
Do not put your finger on the trigger. Keep
your finger outside the trigger guard.
Only insert the loaded magazine immediately
before firing.
Never cock the hammer back by hand, in
order to prevent the unintentional discharge of the pistol.
Never rely on the safety mechanisms alone.
Safety mechanisms are not a substitute for careful and proper handling of the pistol.
Never let a loaded pistol out of your hand.
1. Point pistol in a safe direction.
2. Insert full magazine and ensure that it is fully engaged.
3. Pull slide back fully and release. – The pistol is loaded and ready for firing in
the single action (cocked) mode.
– The pistol can now be decocked using the
decocking lever. It is then loaded, decocked and ready for firing in the double action (decocked) mode.
– The pistol is decocked and ready for firing.

6.5 Firing

WARNING!
Lacking in awareness of potential dangers Possibly death or serious injuries
Ensure that the target and surroundings allow
shots to be fired without danger.
Be certain when firing that your fingers,

Never try to dislodge a blockage by firing
another round.
WARNING!
Missing Dry Fire Plug Dry firing can cause damage to your pistol
and create an unsafe condition

WARNING!
Pistol is ready to fire Possibly death or serious injuries
Double action/single action pistols are in a
cocked and ready to fire status after each firing.
If you want to interrupt shooting, you must
action the decocking lever to lower the hammer. The pistol is then in the loaded, decocked and ready to fire status.
Once you decide to stop shooting
immediately unload the pistol.

magazine safety).
– Pull trigger fully
– Hammer should fall & impact firing pin with
adequate force. Hammer should reset into safety intercept notch.
6. Check decocking lever and hammer safety intercept notch.
– Remove magazine – Cock hammer by retracting slide fully and
releasing. – Depress decocking lever to lower hammer. – Verify hammer is locked in safety intercept
notch by pushing back of hammer.
7. Check slide catch lever. – Insert empty magazine; retract slide fully
and release
– Check that the slide remains locked to the
rear. – Depress slide catch lever. – Verify slide closes fully and with adequate
force. – Depress decocking lever. Remove
magazine.
8. Check magazine. – Inspect the magazine tube (lips and
floorplate) for signs of damage or dirt.
– Verify that magazine floorplate is properly
secured.
