IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If connecting to a lighting string that does not have a Wattage (W) rating (found on the tag
within 6 inches of the plug) calculate the wattage as follows: Multiply the current (___A)
which is on the flag-type tag by 120.
For example: Lighting string is rated 120V, 60Hz, 0.2 Amps. 0.2 X 120 = 24 Watts.
Add the wattage of each light string together for a total of 420 Watts or less.
(Do not exceed 420 Watts)
