The later SE08/2 manual consists of only 2 pages of info and an exploded parts view. The info is repeated in German, English and French.
Here it goes:
Description of the ERMA Conversion Unit SE 08/2
The conversion unit consists of the following main components:
Breechblock complete, barrel with barrel guide cover, knurled nut and lock nut, magazine, ejector, rear joint bolt (2-part) and assembly bolt.
The conversion unit is inserted into the Parabellum pistol in the following order:
1. Remove magazine and unload pistol completely (see safety instructions).
2. Remove cover plate, dismantle breechblock and ejector.
3. Insert conversoin unit from the rear (extractor slot facing upward) and screw tight with barrel guide cover and knurled nut. Fix with spring washer and lock nut.
4. Insert SE 08 ejector into the fork-shaped receiver.
5. Push SE 08 breechblock complete into the fork-shaped receiver and fix with the rear joint bolt.
It should be observed in doing so that the bushing is inserted on the left side (in shooting direction) and the rear joint bolt pushed in from the right.
6. Insert SE 08 magazine.
The safey of the original pistol remains completely functional.
In cocked condition, the firing pin is visible on the rear joint. It projects at the rear end of the pistol.
Firing is done now with the same motions as with the original weapon:
1. Release safety (safety lever forward).
2. Load magazine and push it into the pistol.
3. Pull breechblock to the rear and let it go forward under its own spring power. In this way, the first cartridge is loaded into the chamber. The weapon is cocked, the pin is visible.
The pistol is now ready to fire.
The toggle joint action remains open after the last shot. To avoid failures, teh conversion unit should be cleaned after shooting and treated with acid-free oil.
