Failure to observe these precautions could result in serious injury or death to personnel. WARNING Immediately cease fire if there is an audible popping sound or reduced recoil during firing. DO NOT apply immediate action. DO NOT attempt to remove a projectile that is lodged in the barrel. Either condition could indicate an improper powder burn or a round stuck in the bore. Notify the unit armorer. Failure to follow these warnings may result in injury or death to personnel. WARNING Check the bore to ensure it is clean and free of obstruction. Failure to follow this warning may result in injury or death to personnel. WARNING If the weapon is dropped or jarred with a loaded magazine in place, it could chamber a round and subsequently cause a negligent discharge. Failure to follow this warning may result in injury or death to personnel. a TM 8370-50007-OR/1 WARNING Be sure the weapon is pointed in a safe direction at all times. If your weapon stops firing with a live round in the chamber of a hot barrel, immediately try to eject the round. If you cannot eject the round within 10 seconds, remove the magazine and wait an additional 15 minutes prior to attempting to fire again. This will prevent a possible round from cooking-off. Keep your face away from the ejection port when clearing a weapon with a hot barrel. If immediate action fails to return the weapon to operational status, clear the weapon and move the selector lever to the SAFE position. Failure to follow these warnings could result in injury or death to personnel. WARNING Always assume the weapon is loaded until verified through visual and physical inspection that it is not. Refer to WP 0005 00 for clearing procedures. Confirm the weapon is clear and on SAFE before performing the following procedures. Failure to follow these warnings may result in injury or death to personnel. WARNING Store ammunition under protective cover and away from excessive heat and extreme temperatures. Failure to follow this warning may result in injury or death to personnel. b TM 8370-50007-OR/1 WARNING DO NOT attempt to disassemble a cartridge or any of its components. DO NOT polish brass components of cartridges. Failure to follow this warning may result in injury or death to personnel. WARNING Use only authorized ammunition manufactured to U.S. or NATO specifications. WARNING DO NOT fire seriously corroded ammunition, dented cartridges, cartridges with loose projectiles, cartridges exposed to extreme heat (135°F) until they are cooled, or cartridges with loose projectiles are pushed in (short rounds). Failure to follow these warnings may result in injury or death to personnel. WARNING Do not interchange bolts between weapons. Failure to follow this warning may cause injury or death to personnel. WARNING Ensure the weapon is clear before performing the following procedures. Do not keep live ammunition near the work area. Failure to follow this warning may cause injury or death to personnel. c TM 8370-50007-OR/1 WARNING DO NOT store the weapon with live ammunition in either the chamber or magazine. The magazine should be kept separate from the rifle. Always assume every weapon is loaded until it is determined through visual and physical inspection that it is not loaded. The rifle should be stored with the bolt locked and the hammer forward. Failure to follow these warnings may cause injury or death to personnel. WARNING Do not stand closer than 10 meters from the muzzle when blank cartridges are being fired. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury or death to personnel. Only blank ammunition may be fired when the blank firing device is in place. DO NOT use the cap of the combination tool kit as a blank firing device. d TM 8370-50007-OR/1 CAUTION SUMMARY CAUTION Ensure ammunition is free of sand, mud, moisture, frost, snow, ice, grease, or other foreign matter. CAUTION Never ride the charging handle. Allow it to move forward on its own. CAUTION The use of oil or grease on cartridges is prohibited. CAUTION After a round is removed, the bolt is under tension. CAUTION Do not dry clean the weapon. Do not use hot water or other solvents to clean the weapon. This will remove the lubricant built up as a result of using CLP. CAUTION Apply only a light coat of CLP to the firing pin and firing pin recess in the bolt. e TM 8370-50007-OR/1 CAUTION Do not mix lubricants. The weapon must be cleaned thoroughly during any change from one lubricant to another. Do not use dry cleaning solvent (SD).
