A spring-loaded cylindrical slider, mounted transversely in the aluminium fuze body, contains the detonator and is equipped with an O-ring pressure seal. Inbore safety is provided by a spring-loaded bore riding pin that locks the slider. A pull wire restrains the setback pin which locks the bore riding pin.
