Preparing the Device for Operation:

• Please note that installation of the device is recommended only in a properly equipped workshop.
• Please note that the adjustment range is 6 (six) clicks.
• Please note that the gas block with a front sight has no horizontal adjustment; alignment is achieved by adjusting the gas block’s angle on the barrel.
• Adjustment begins with fully tightening the adjustment screw (hand-tight, clockwise).
• A fully tightened adjustment screw provides the minimum flow of propellant gases into the gas tube; each subsequent click increases the gas port opening.
• Begin adjustment from the smallest opening, gradually increasing it until reliable cycling of the firearm is achieved.
• A fully tightened adjustment screw does not completely (100%) block the gas port.
• During installation, ensure proper alignment of the gas port in the barrel with the gas block.

Safety Measures:

• It is strictly prohibited to install or adjust the gas block on a loaded or malfunctioning firearm.
• Observe safety precautions to prevent damage to the product and contamination of the internal channel.
• To prevent hand burns when adjusting the gas block screw, use heat-insulating material or gloves.
