Fire lighting equipment should be used by trained, experienced and authorised personnel only. Precautions should be taken to prevent danger to yourself and others. A means of escape should always be located before setting fires where rapid spread may prove hazardous to yourself or others. All petroleum products should be handled with the same precautions as when working with fuel. Keep your drip torch in good working condition, make sure all connections are tight, conduct regular inspection and replace any damaged parts with OEM parts only.
