How to use the Fire Safety Stick
How to activate – It couldn’t be easier!
-
Hold the unit by the black plastic handle and remove the top cap or sleeve* which protects the black resin at the top of the unit.
-
Remove the striker cap from the bottom of the unit (this will be either black or yellow plastic caps, on the inside, there is a red/brown rough surface.
-
Still holding the plastic handle, point the stick away from your head and body. In your other hand, hold the striker cap so that the red/brown rough area is resting on top of the black resin on the top of the stick.
-
Apply increased pressure between the resin and the striker cap,
-
Then swiftly, move the striker away from the body, holding the stick firmly, ensuring the striker maintains contact with the resin. This is very much like striking a match against a matchbox. This friction should be enough to activate the black resin is initially sparking like a match. Just like a match if it’s not activated on the first strike, then just repeat the above process of striking the resin.
-
Discharge of the harmless agent will begin immediately.
-
Then simply point the stick towards the base of the fire and its flames.
-
The agent being discharged is completely harmless.
There may be some sparks from the top opening of the stick but these are only a few centimetres in size and also harmless. Also, it may spray out a very small amount of black soot from the Fire Safety Stick, but again this is totally harmless and can be can be swept up afterwards.*Depending on the model, this could be a yellow or black cap or, in the case of the previous FSS100, a red sleeve over the main body of the unit.
