WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Cardinal Rules of Firearms Safety

 Treat all guns as if they were loaded.

 Point the muzzle in a safe direction at all times.

(A “safe direction” is one in which no one would be injured if the gun were to discharge.)

 Keep your finger off the trigger, straight along the frame and superior to the trigger until
you are aimed at a safe target and intend to fire.

 Be sure of your target and what's around and beyond it.

 When you pick up a gun that, even for an instant, has been out of your direct, continuous control,
while following the above rules, open the gun's action and determine whether or not the gun is loaded.

 All guns left unattended, even briefly, must be made inoperable or inaccessible to children
and other unauthorized users.

vi
 PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

Failure to comply with the warnings and precautions in this booklet may result in serious injury to you or
others and/or damage the firearm or other property. Take note of the following warnings on the gun
handling before attempting to use the pistol:

Always check the chamber and magazine of any firearm before handling.

 Keep guns and ammunition separate and in locked storage.

 Don't shoot unless absolutely sure of your target and what is beyond it.

 Always wear eye and ear protection when shooting.

 Always be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions.

 Only carry ammunition specifically intended for the gun you are using.

 Never use alcohol or drugs of any kind while using your firearm.

vii
PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

WARNING! If your gun misfires with a live round in the chamber of a hot barrel, immediately
remove the round while keeping the barrel pointed in a safe direction and the ejection port turned
away from your face.
If you are unable to remove the live round within 10 seconds, remove the magazine, keep the gun
pointed in a safe direction, and wait 15 minutes for the barrel to cool. Then remove the round.

WARNING! Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before shooting. Never fire your gun with
water, grease, excess oil, or any other obstruction in the barrel this could cause the gun to
explode!

WARNING! If you notice an obvious change in sound and recoil while firing, STOP FIRING!

The cause for either condition could be incomplete powder burn, a cartridge with a primer but no
powder (“SQUIB LOAD”) or too little powder, and/or a bullet stuck in the bore.
Immediately unload the gun and remove the slide and barrel (see Disassembling the Pistol on
page 17); then check for unburned powder residue in the bore and the receiver or a bullet stuck in
the bore. Remove the unburned powder before resuming firing. If a bullet is stuck in the bore,
have a qualified gunsmith take care of the problem. Never try to “SHOOT OUT” a bullet stuck in
the bore. Firing with unburned powder in the barrel or a bullet stuck in the bore could cause the
barrel to explode causing serious injury or death.

viii
 PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

WARNING! Careless and improper handling of this gun could result in unintended discharge,
causing injury, death or property damage. Safety must be the first and constant consideration
when handling a firearm and ammunition. SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU.

WARNING! This firearm is designed to function properly in its original condition. Do not alter any
parts. Do not replace any parts unless you are factory-trained to do so and then use only original
factory parts from IWI US, Inc.

WARNING! The firearm should be transported in quality gun case or holster that blocks access to
the trigger.

Important Note:

This Operator Manual and the instructions and warnings contained in it are intended for the civilian
recreational user, target shooter, or hunter, and not necessarily for the law enforcement, security,
military, or other “defensive” user. Defensive use of this or any other firearm involves unusual,
serious risks, and may at times require deviation from certain safety rules and gun handling
procedures contained in this manual. Such defensive procedures and deviations are beyond the
scope of this manual. In order to use such defensive procedures safely requires intensive initial
training and qualification from a proper professional source, followed by “in service” training and
qualification at appropriate intervals. Anyone who has not been properly and professionally trained
in defensive gun handling procedures should not attempt to use this firearm in any manner other
than as set out in this Operator Manual. Doing so can result in serious injury or death.

ix
PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

WARNING! Always handle and treat your firearm as if it were loaded so you will never fire it
accidentally when you mistakenly think it is unloaded. Never take anyone's word that it is
unloaded. Always check it yourself with your fingers off the trigger and the gun pointed in a safe
direction. Even after you have confirmed that the gun is unloaded, continue to treat it as if it were
loaded.

WARNING! Never place your fingers inside the trigger guard area unless you are aiming at a
proper target and intend to fire. Instead, keep your trigger finger straight along the frame of the
pistol until you intend to fire. Do not pull the trigger or attempt to fire until the safety selector has
been moved to the FIRE position.

DANGER! DO NOT grasp the forward portion of the trigger guard/pistol grip frame with your non-
shooting hand or allow any fingers of your non-shooting hand to enter the trigger guard at any
time. If you do so, there is a chance your non-shooting hand or fingers could touch the trigger,
unintentionally firing the firearm and resulting in death or serious injury.

WARNING! If your finger is on the trigger or inside the trigger area, you may unintentionally
discharge the firearm if you are startled, if you lose your balance, if you exert muscular force with
your other hand or arm or with either leg, of if something comes in contact with your hand, arm, or
the gun. Always keep the safety on "Safe" and your finger outside the trigger area, wrapped
around the grip or braced on the gun's frame, until you intend to fire.

WARNING! Upon firing, a hot, empty shell casing is forcefully ejected from the right side of the
firearm. All persons present must wear suitable eye protection, and must stand clear of the case
ejection area.

x
 PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

WARNING! Keep the muzzle of the gun pointed in a safe direction at all times. A safe direction is
one in which a negligently discharged round will not cause any physical injury or property damage.
Never let the muzzle of a firearm point at any part of your body or another person, or in any
direction where an injury may result if the gun were to fire. Always be sure of your target and
what's beyond and around it before firing.

WARNING! UNLOAD ALL FIREARMS WHEN NOT IN USE. NEVER STORE A LOADED
FIREARM. Firearms and ammunition should be stored separately under lock and key so that they
are inaccessible to children or unauthorized users. Never leave a loaded firearm, or any firearm or
ammunition, unattended where an unauthorized user might have access to it. At the range, any
firearm you lay down on the shooting bench should be unloaded, with its action locked open.
Never lean or place a firearm where it could slide or fall, such as leaning it against or placing it on
a vehicle. Never let the muzzle of a firearm touch the ground, mud, sand or snow that might
obstruct the bore, causing the barrel to burst when you fire. If you drop a firearm, pick it up
carefully with it pointed in a safe direction (have all other people move out of the direction of the
muzzle), with your finger outside the trigger area and the safety in the on “SAFE” position. Then
unload the firearm, and check to be sure there are no obstructions in the bore. This can be done
safely with a cleaning rod, or by disassembling the firearm and looking down the bore from the
chamber (rear) end. If there is any possibility of damage to your JERICHO II/II-M™, have it
inspected by a qualified gunsmith, or return it to IWI US, Inc. for inspection, before you load or fire
it again.

xi
PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

WARNING! Always make sure your firearm is not loaded before cleaning, storing, transporting or
handing it to another person. Firearms should be transported unloaded and in a protective gun
case.

WARNING! Whenever you pick up any firearm that, even for an instant, has been out of your
direct, continuous control, perform a condition check on the weapon. While keeping the muzzle
pointed in a safe direction and your fingers out of the trigger area, remove is to the firearm's action
(mechanism) to determine whether or not it is loaded.

WARNING! Always wear and require others to wear wraparound ANSI or OSHA approved safety
glasses while shooting to protect your eyes from injury by ejected shell cases, gun powder gas,
lubricant, dirt or metallic particles, carbon residue, sparks, bullet splash back from targets or other
debris.

WARNING! Always wear and require others to wear commercially manufactured ear protection
when shooting. Without ear protection, the noise from your gun, and other guns close to you,
could leave a “ringing” in the ears for some time after firing, and could result in permanent hearing
loss.

WARNING! Learn the mechanical and handling characteristics of the firearm you are using. Not
all firearms are the same, and your JERICHO™ firearm has some unique features. Do not assume
that just because you have experience with other firearms, you know how to use the JERICHO™
firearm properly. Read and understand this manual. If there is anything you do not understand,
contact your firearms retailer or IWI US, Inc. at services@iwi.us or telephone +1717-695-2081.

xii
 PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

WARNING! Never climb or descend a tree, fence or wall, jump across a stream or ditch, or
attempt to cross an obstacle, ice, or precarious terrain while carrying a loaded firearm unless the
pistol is secured in a quality holster that blocks the trigger guard and retains the weapon.

WARNING! Do not shoot at a hard surface, such as rock, masonry or metal, or at water or ice.
The bullet may ricochet and travel in unpredictable directions to strike you or another unintended
person or object, or even an object that you cannot see.

WARNING! A bullet fired into the air can travel over one mile, and can kill or seriously injure
someone when it comes down. Never fire into the air, or at a target or animal in a tree or on the
crest of a hill.

WARNING! Before hunting with this or any other firearm, take an approved Hunter Safety Course,
taught in all states by the state game commission or by the National Rifle Association (NRA).
Follow your state's game laws at all times while hunting.

WARNING! Firing a gun near livestock or other domestic animals may startle them and cause
them to injure themselves, other animals, or people, or to cause property damage. Think first
before you discharge any firearm.

xiii
PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

WARNING! If you have not received formal firearms instruction or if you have any doubts about
your ability to handle or use this firearm safely, seek supervised instruction from a certified
instructor. Information about sources of firearms instruction can often be obtained from your local
police department, firearms retailer, gun club, shooting range, state game commission, or from the
National Rifle Association (“NRA”), 11250 Waples Mill Road, Fairfax, Virginia 22030,
Telephone 1-703-267-1000 or 1-800-672-3888.

WARNING! If at any time you notice something about the appearance or functioning of your
JERICHO™ firearm that does not seem proper or that causes you concern, STOP, unload your
firearm immediately, and do not load or fire your firearm until you have it inspected. If necessary,
have the pistol repaired by a factory-trained armorer, or by IWI US, Inc. If you fire your JERICHO™
firearm extensively, have it professionally inspected and serviced periodically.

WARNING! Firearms and alcohol do not mix. Never drink alcoholic beverages or take drugs
before or during shooting. This constitutes criminal disregard for your safety and that of others.
Some medications can impair your vision, balance, reflexes, coordination, alertness or judgment.
Never use a firearm while you are taking medication unless you have checked with your doctor to
ensure your fitness to handle your firearm safely. Do not handle your firearm when you are ill,
tired, upset or distracted.

WARNING! Horseplay has no place around firearms. Guns can’t think – you can!
SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU!

 PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

WARNING! Remember, safety is your responsibility. Be a safe shooter.

SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU!

WARNING! FOLLOW THE LAW. Obey all local, state and federal laws regarding possessing,
storage, shooting and transporting your firearm.

WARNING! Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning or handling firearms, or

handling ammunition may result in exposure to lead and other substances that may cause birth
defects, reproductive harm, and other serious physical injury. Have adequate ventilation at all
times. Wash your hands and face thoroughly after exposure, and before eating or drinking.
Shooting, handling or cleaning guns may expose you to lead, which is a toxic substance.

REMEMBER, FIREARMS SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU! THERE ARE NO

“FOOLPROOF” GUNS, INCLUDING THE JERICHO II/II-M™. A SINGLE MOMENT
OF INATTENTION OR A SINGLE FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE GUN SAFETY
RULES AND WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN TRAGEDY. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE

FIREARMS SAFE HOME STORAGE CHECKLIST

 Firearms naturally attract the attention of children, teenagers and adults alike. Accordingly, it
is YOUR responsibility to ensure that your firearms, when unattended, stored, or not in use,
are secured under lock and key, safely out of the access of all unauthorized users. This is
YOUR responsibility, and any mistake on your part can result in death or serious injury to your
loved ones or others.

 Firearms must be securely stored under lock and key in a location inaccessible to children
and other unauthorized persons.

 One of the safest ways to store your firearms is in a locking metal gun safe or lock box. Many
models, including ones permitting quick access to the firearm if needed for self-defense, are
now available at firearms retailers or via the Internet. Using the cable lock provided with your
JERICHO II/II-M™ SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL (see “INSTRUCTIONS - USING THE CABLE
LOCK” on page xviii) is a good safety precaution, but not as good as locking your firearm in a
metal gun safe, where it is also out of sight and protected from fire, theft, and curious hands.

 Sporting firearms should be immediately cleaned and placed in secure locked storage when
they are returned from hunting or target shooting.

xvi
 PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

When firearms are removed from storage, they must always immediately be carefully checked
to confirm that they are unloaded.

 Ammunition should be stored under lock and key, in a separate location from firearms.

 The operator manual that came with your firearm must be read, understood and followed.

For more information on safe storage and use, refer to the NSSF pamphlets “Firearms
Safety Depends on You” and “Firearms Responsibility in the Home”, available for
download from the NSSF website at http://www.nssf.org/safety/lit/.

PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

INSTRUCTIONS - USING THE CABLE LOCK

Your JERICHO II/II-M™ Pistol is supplied with a quality cable lock. Properly used, this lock will help
you to secure your firearm from children and other unauthorized users to reduce the chance of an
accident, either in the home or while transporting your firearm, provided you take the other
reasonable safety precautions contained in this Operator Manual.

WARNING! NEVER attempt to use the cable lock on a loaded firearm - always unload the firearm
before installing the cable lock. Otherwise, the firearm could discharge, causing death or serious
injury.

WARNING! NEVER insert the cable lock into the trigger guard or trigger area of the
JERICHO II/II-M™ or any other firearm, as the cable could press against the trigger and fire the
gun, causing death or serious injury.

WARNING! The cable lock supplied with your JERICHO II/II-M™ Pistol may not fit or work properly
on other firearms. This lock is intended for use only on your JERICHO II/II-M™ Pistol.

To use the cable lock, do the following:

Your JERICHO II/II-M™ should now be unloaded, with the safety lever on "Safe".

xviii
 PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

WARNING! Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, your fingers outside the trigger area, and
the safety lever on "Safe" throughout the process of putting the cable lock on your pistol.

1. Lock the slide to the rear. Using the key, open the cable lock. Leave the key in the lock.

2. Insert the end of the cable lock cable through the ejection port and out through the empty
magazine well.

3. Insert the end of the cable lock cable into the lock body and hold the end of the cable fully into
the lock body while you turn and remove the key to lock the lock.

4. Tug hard on the cable several times to be sure the lock is locked securely.
Used in this way, the cable lock will prevent the JERICHO II/II-M™ slide from closing,
preventing the pistol from being fired.

5. Take the key with you, or store the key securely in a remote location from the firearm.

6. Store your firearm in a secure place out of sight, and out of reach of children.

NOTE: While the cable lock can be an important part of your firearms security program, for home
storage it is not as secure as locking your gun in a metal gun safe or lock box. Use of the cable
lock alone will not prevent your firearm from being stolen, and will not keep your firearm out of
view of unauthorized users. The cable lock can be cut off the firearm with a hacksaw, bolt cutter or
cable cutter.

OVERVIEW JERICHO II / II-M™ PARTS

 PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Retraction Movement
After pulling the trigger, the hammer is released and hits the firing pin. Propellant gas pressure pushes
the bullet along the bore, while at the same time pushing the slide rearward. Since the barrel is locked to
the slide, both recoil together a short distance (until the pressure is reduced to a safe level). The barrel
then stops and disengages from the slide. The slide continues its rearward travel, and extracts the empty
cartridge case from the chamber. When the cartridge case hits the ejector, it is ejected from the pistol. At
the same time, the slide cocks the hammer and compresses the recoil spring.

Forward Movement
When the recoil spring expands, it drives the slide forward. During this movement the slide strips the
upper round from the magazine and inserts it into the chamber. The locking lugs on the barrel engage
the slots in the slide and lock the round in the chamber. The pistol is now ready for firing.

Continued Firing
To fire additional round, release the trigger and pull it again. After the last round is fired, the slide is
retained in its rear position by the slide catch. To continue firing, change the magazine and release the
slide by pressing the slide catch or by pulling the slide rearward and releasing it.

Safety Features

 The pistol has a firing pin block mechanism, which prevents involuntary firing. The block is released
only when the trigger is fully pulled.

 The safety lever is located on the frame. Safety mechanism blocks the sear, which blocks the
movement of the trigger. In safe position, the trigger is blocked.

 Safety hook on the hammer: prevents the hammer hitting the firing pin when the cocked weapon is
accidentally dropped.
