Some important Do's/Dont's for end users of Plain Detonator
Do
- Use a sharp knife for cutting the safety fuse squarely.
Ragged ends may cause difficulty in insertion.
- Ensure that the end of Safety Fuse is free of any oil/
moisture / grease contamination.
- Ensure the crimping of Safety Fuse is near the open end
of Detonator.
- Ensure use of a bench crimper when large number of Detonators
are used. This will ensure a uniform and safer crimp to
handle.
- Ensure the safe burning speed of Safety Fuse for a safe
blast.
- Use a fuse lighter or plastic ignition cord for lighting
the Safety Fuse.
- Ensure adequate length of Safety Fuse to allow sufficient
time for withdrawal to safety.
- Use water-proofing compound on the junction of Safety
Fuse and Detonator when used in wet condition. This will
ensure prevention of moisture creeping into detonator and
causing a possible misfire.
Don't
- Do not force or screw the Safety Fuse into the Detonator.
- Avoid the use of fuse which can be inserted with difficulty.
- Avoid tight crimping as they may lead to misfires.
- Do not allow naked lights or smoking in the vicinity of
Detonators.
- Avoid use of any other means except standard recommended
crimpers.
