•Avoid touching electric carrying parts with sharp or heavy objects.
•Do not plug other products into the tree plugs.

•If your tree has incandescent lights, be sure to replace burnt-out bulbs with replacement bulbs (included) as bulbs
burn out. This will extend the life of the remaining bulbs.

Trouble Shooting:
•If a branch or section will not light, check to be sure that all the cords are plugged into the pole. Each section
should be plugged into one socket.

A safety strap has been placed around the plugs to ensure that the plugs do not fall out of the pole during shipping.
This strap easily slides over the plugs to hold them tight. Images shown are for reference only; your tree may differ
slightly.
•If item still fails to light after checking all plugs are plugged in, look for a damaged, missing, or burnt-out bulb.
Replace the bulb with included replacement bulbs.
•If the item still fails to light after checking all plugs are plugged in, check the fuse at the main power cord (part
you plug into the wall socket) – use only 125 volt fuse, 5 amp maximum.
•If your item has a foot pedal, try tapping the foot pedal once to turn on the lights.
Tree Storage:
Step 1: Unplug power cord.
Step 2: Remove decorations.
Step 3: Lift each section directly up.
Step 4: Separate the tree sections (starting at the top). Fold branches up to avoid crushing the tips. You can tie the
branches up to make the sections easier to handle and set up in future years.
Step 5: Unscrew tree stand to release the bottom section. Fold stand and tighten screws back into stand to prevent
losing the screws.
