How do you use a Bic small lighter?

Answered by Robert Flynn

To use a Bic small lighter, you first need to hold it upright in your dominant hand. This means if you are right-handed, hold it in your right hand, and if you are left-handed, hold it in your left hand.

Next, position your thumb on the metal spark wheel, which is located on the side of the lighter. The spark wheel is the part that creates the spark to ignite the flame.

With your thumb, quickly and firmly roll the spark wheel down onto the ignition button, which is located on the front of the lighter. The ignition button is the part that releases the gas and creates the flame.

You may need to repeat this motion a few times to get the lighter to light. Sometimes, the spark wheel doesn’t catch on the first try, so don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t work immediately. Just keep trying until the flame ignites.

Once the flame ignites, it’s important to keep the ignition button pressed down with your thumb to keep the flame going. If you release the button, the flame will go out.

When you’re done using the lighter, make sure to extinguish the flame by releasing the ignition button and blowing it out. Safety is important, so always be cautious when using a lighter and never leave a flame unattended.

In summary, to use a Bic small lighter:
1. Hold it upright in your dominant hand
2. Position your thumb on the spark wheel
3. Roll the spark wheel down onto the ignition button
4. Repeat if necessary
5. Keep the ignition button pressed down to maintain the flame
6. Extinguish the flame when done.

Remember to exercise caution and follow safety guidelines when using any type of fire-producing device.
