Read these directions very carefully. This product uses flammable material and is for professional use only. Star Light and Magic is not responsible for any injury or liability that is the result of the users failure to follow directions.

Take the cover off of the Pot by loosening the two screw. Insert (2) ‘AA’ alkaline batteries (not included) in the battery holder. Insert the batteries so that they are facing in opposite directions. Make sure the clip is secure on the end of the glo-plug, replace the cover, and secure the screws. (The glo-plug clip is attached to a thin wire. Be sure not to lose the plastic insulating washer that fits between the clip and the glo-plug.) Without loading the Pot, look into the glo-plug barrel and press the foot-switch. You’ll see a glowing coil, similar to the one in an automobile cigarette lighter. The fact that it glows tells you that the batteries are operational and the glo-plug is in good working order.

Take a piece of paper or cardboard, and put it between the two contacts on the foot-switch to prevent accidental firing while loading. Take a pinch of Flash Cotton, fluff it up, and insert it into the glo-plug barrel. Use a blunt instrument to press the cotton against the glo-plug coil. (The eraser end of a pencil works well for this.) Don’t use a pointed instrument because the glo-plug coil can be easily damaged. Place a teaspoon or less of Flash Powder in the main Pot cavity. Do not place it in the glo-plug cavity; permanent damage to the glo-plug will result. Take a larger piece of Flash Cotton (2"-3"), insert one end in the glo-plug cavity and the other end in the Powder cavity.

Remove the piece of paper or cardboard from the foot-switch. Your Pot is now ready to fire. Step on the foot-switch to fire the Pot. Depending on the strength of the batteries and the condition of the glo-plug, you may have to hold the switch down for up to a full second to ignite the cotton. A flash of light and a mushroom cloud of smoke will result.

Do not reload until the Pot has cooled.

Always make sure that there is an insulator between the two contacts of the foot-switch before you reload.

Always conduct a preliminary test in a safe location, especially when using a new brand or type of Powder.

Always keep your face away from the Pot. Wear safety glasses.

Never smoke while loading.

Do not load the Pot directly from the bottle. Pour the Powder into a plastic teaspoon and then empty the spoon into the Pot.

Overloading the Pot with Powder may result in an exploding Pot.

Never fire the Pot near curtains, flammable objects or on carpet.

Observe the correct safety distance for you particular effect (usually 15 feet or more).

Never put Flash Powder in the glo-plug chamber.

Keep a water spray bottle and two fire extinguishers within reach.

Make sure the insulating washer is in place on the glo-plug; the Pot may not fire.

If the top of the Flash Pot is not screwed down securely, the glo-plug won’t glow.

If Flash Cotton is unavailable, Flash Paper formed into a string-like fuse, may be substituted. For best results, use Cotton as

directed.

If the glo-plug burns out, it can be easily replaced by unscrewing it from the bottom of the cover plate with a small wrench.

Do not over-tighten the new plug.

The glo-plug will not glow if the cover is loosened or removed from the base.
