3. Setup and Assembly
Follow these steps to assemble your artificial Christmas tree:
- Prepare the Stand: Unfold the metal stand and place it on a flat, stable surface. Ensure the legs are fully extended to provide maximum stability.
- Insert the Bottom Section: Locate the bottom section of the tree. Insert the pole of the bottom section into the center hole of the metal stand. Secure it firmly with the provided screws, if applicable, to prevent wobbling.
- Assemble Middle Sections: Insert the middle tree sections one by one into the section below it. Ensure each section is fully seated and aligned. For the 9FT model, there are typically 4 sections for easy assembly.
- Attach the Top Section: Place the top section of the tree onto the uppermost middle section.
- Fluff the Branches: Once all sections are assembled, begin to gently spread and shape the branches. Start from the bottom and work your way up. Bend individual branch tips outwards and upwards to create a full, natural appearance. This process may take some time to achieve the desired look.

4. Operation and Use
This artificial Christmas tree is designed for decorative purposes. It does not include built-in lights, allowing for custom decoration with your preferred lighting and ornaments.
- Placement: Place the tree on a level, stable surface, away from heat sources, open flames, and high-traffic areas to prevent accidental tipping.
- Decoration: Once assembled and fluffed, the tree is ready for decoration. Distribute ornaments evenly to maintain balance.
- Indoor/Outdoor Use: The tree is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. When used outdoors, ensure it is placed in a sheltered area to protect it from extreme weather conditions.

5. Maintenance and Storage
- Cleaning: To clean the tree, gently wipe the branches with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Disassembly: To disassemble, remove all decorations. Carefully remove the top section, followed by the middle sections, and finally the bottom section from the stand.
- Storage: Compress the branches of each section and store the tree in its original box or a suitable storage bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps preserve the tree's shape and material integrity for future use.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Tree is wobbly or unstable. | Stand not fully extended or secured; sections not fully seated. | Ensure the metal stand legs are fully extended and the stand screws (if applicable) are tightened. Verify that all tree sections are firmly inserted into each other. Ensure no branches are caught preventing the pole from fully seating in the stand. |
| Branches appear sparse or not full. | Branches have not been properly fluffed or shaped. | Spend additional time fluffing each individual branch and tip, bending them outwards and upwards to fill any gaps and create a dense appearance. |
| Tree leans to one side. | Uneven surface; tree sections not aligned correctly. | Place the tree on a completely flat and level surface. Re-check the alignment of each tree section to ensure they are straight and properly connected. |
