Lighting a swivel blow lamp with a match - manual ignition Some swivel blow lamps do not have a piezo ignition switch, so need to be lit manually. This is done by turning the blow lamp on by turning the flame control nozzle, allowing a small amount of gas to be produced, and placing a lit flame into the gas.

Coupling
