Canister shells have an arrow on the side of them and the arrow should be facing up. Mortar shells that are round on the top and flat on the bottom should have the flat part of the shell in the bottom of the mortar tube. A single shell is placed inside the mortar tube in the upright position with the fuse leading out of the tube.
Reloadable shells are a two piece system consisting of a shell or canister shell and a mortar tube. (DO NOT TAPE OVER THE TOP!) This stabilizes your firework and helps to prevent it from tipping over. Next, use a few pieces of duct tape to tape from the side of the above items down (excluding helicopters, ground spinners, roman candles, and reloadable shells) onto the piece of plywood. We recommend using a piece of plywood on a flat surface as a base to light all 500 Gram Aerials, Aerial Repeaters, Fountains, Saturn Missiles, Single Shot Tubes, Nine Racks, and Helicopters. Instead, stick the sparklers in the ground or have an adult hold it. Not even sparklers! We do not suggest giving sparklers to children. Do not allow children to handle fireworks or be near them. MUST BE 21 OR OLDER! If you have concerns about being able to get to a safe distance away after lighting, use safety fuse. Make sure whoever is lighting is capable of retreating to a safe distance. Determine who will light off the fireworks. Maybe invite them over and make some new friends! Keep the neighbors in mind! Be considerate when deciding what time to light off your fireworks! Talk with your neighbors. You also want to keep spectators at least 100 feet away! You do not want to light off fireworks near houses, buildings, vehicles, pools, combustible materials or animals. We recommend an area 300 feet x 300 feet. Make sure you have enough room to keep you audience safe. We also include safety tips with each purchase.
