| Nomenclature: |
Igniter, Time Blasting Fuse with Shock Tube Capability |
| Appearance: |
An olive drab plastic tube with a shipping plug and a weatherproofing plug on one
end and a cotter pin and a pull ring on the other end |
| Function: |
The M81 Igniter is used to ignite a cord that carries a detonation charge or to initiate the shock tube or M700 Time Fuse of MDI (Modern Demolition Initiator) blasting caps. To use, simply bull back the firing pin and the spring tension created forces the pin forward with enough force to set off the primer when the firing pin is released. The primer then ignites the cord, shock tube, or M700 Time Fuse secured in the end of the igniter. (The other end of the cord or the shock tube or the M700 Time Fuse is placed into the item to be detonated.) |
