Package Contents
Your package should contain the following items:

- Durable metal stand
- Extra light bulbs and fuses
- Instruction manual
Setup and Assembly
Assembly is quick and easy, typically taking minutes to set up and about 30 minutes to fully fluff the branches.
- Assemble the Stand: Unfold the metal tree stand and insert the eye bolts. Tighten the eye bolts to secure the stand in an open position.
- Insert Bottom Section: Carefully insert the bottom tree section (usually labeled 'D') into the assembled stand. Tighten the eye bolts on the stand to secure the tree trunk.
- Connect Middle Sections: Continue by inserting the next tree section (e.g., 'C') into the top of the previous section. Ensure the electrical connections for the lights are properly aligned and connected as you stack each section.
- Attach Top Section: Place the final top section (e.g., 'A') onto the tree. Connect any remaining electrical cords.
- Shape the Branches: Starting from the bottom of the tree, gently pull apart and shape each branch. Work your way up, spreading the branch tips to fill any gaps and create a full, natural appearance. This process is known as 'fluffing'.
- Plug In: Once all sections are assembled and fluffed, plug the tree into a standard electrical outlet. Use the on/off foot pedal to control the lights.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Lights are not turning on. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet and the foot pedal is pressed to the 'ON' position. Check for any loose connections between tree sections. Verify that the outlet is functional by plugging in another device. |
| A section of lights is out. | While the lights are designed to stay lit if one bulb goes out, a section going out may indicate a loose bulb or a blown fuse. Check all bulbs in the affected section for looseness or damage. Replace any blown fuses in the plug (refer to the fuse replacement instructions in the included leaflet). |
| Tree is unstable. | Ensure the metal stand is fully unfolded and the eye bolts are tightened securely. Place the tree on a flat, even surface. |
| Branches appear sparse. | Spend additional time fluffing and shaping the branches. Gently bend individual tips to fill in gaps and create a fuller appearance. |
