Brand: SXTL

Package includes:<br> 2* Instruction Books 2* Base Board<br> 2* Spindle<br> 2* Bamboo Handle<br> 2* Bag of Tinder for two fire makings<br> <br> <br> Detailed instructions:<br> 1. Place the tinder under the pit of the baseboard and step on the baseboard to secure it.<br> 2. Put the head of the drill in the pit, firmly hold and press the top of the spindle with one hand<br> 3. Pull the handle back and forth to drill in the baseboard<br> 4. When you see smoke going, continue drilling for another ten seconds<br> 5. (Important!!!) Wrap the baseboard with the tinder both above and below the hole to prevent any heat loss<br> 6. Hold the tinder and baseboard, blow through the hold slowly and firmly, keep blowing until the smoke turns to a fireball.<br> <br> <br> Reasons for failure:<br> <br> Potential reasons for failure:<br> <br> 1. I can't get any smoke even I tried my best to drill<br> <br> Reason: Your drilling speed is not fast enough and/or have an insufficient normal force to make friction between the baseboard and the drill head.<br> <br> Solution: Pull the handle back and forth faster and push the drill against the baseboard.<br> <br> 2. I got glowing red coal but it got cold after I transfer it onto the tinder.<br> <br> Reason: The coal lost some heat during transfer<br> <br> Solution: Try to wrap the coal and the baseboard with tinder, keep the coal inside the hole, then blow it.<br> <br>3. There was some smoke when I just started blowing, but no more smoke generated later<br> <br> Reason: The coal was not hot enough or the environment is too windy<br> <br> Solution: Drill longer before blowing the coal and make sure you are in a windless area.<br>
