Pre-Show Setup

• Set your Roman Candles into a bucket of sand or into the ground with the fuse end pointing up at a 45-60 degree angle.
• Make sure you have a clear, open space to light
• Have a hose, fire extinguisher, or water supply on hand in case of emergencies
• Make sure your audience is a safe distance away, a minimum of 100 feet
• Keep Roman Candles in their packaging until you are ready to use

Using Roman Candles

• Be sure to wear Safety Glasses and Safety Gloves when lighting
• Use a Phantom Pyro Torch, punk or extended lighter to light
• Use a flashlight at night so you can see the fuse
• After you light the Roman candle move a safe distance away
• Track the trajectory of the flight path of the Roman candle to make sure it comes down cold and does not start a grass or brush fire
• Never re-use a candle that fails to light the first time, use a hose or other water source to soak the candle and safely dispose of the candle outdoors

Warning

• Do not use with Alcohol
• Never attempt to take a candle apart
• Never hold a Roman candle during functioning
• Never put your head or any part of your body over a candle
