The M24 stick grenade worked by a pull cord, which ran down the hollow handle from the detonator within the explosive head, terminating to a porcelain ball held in place via a screw off cap. Undoing the cap and pulling the cord dragged a roughened steel rod through the igniter causing it to flare up and start the five-second fuse burning.
The M24 stick grenade was stored in cases for transport, and the fuse assemblies inserted prior to going into combat a reminder was stenciled on each explosive charge "Vor Gebrauch Sprengkapsel einsetzen" ("Before use insert detonator").
