National Tree Company 7.5 ft Unlit Newberry Spruce Artificial Christmas Tree Instruction Manual

1. Introduction and Overview

This manual provides detailed instructions for the assembly, operation, maintenance, and care of your National Tree Company 7.5 ft Unlit Newberry Spruce Artificial Christmas Tree. Designed to mimic the appearance of a natural spruce, this tree features durable, fire-resistant materials for years of enjoyment.

The Newberry Spruce tree stands 7.5 feet tall with a 60-inch base diameter, offering a full profile. It incorporates hundreds of individually crafted branch tips for a lifelike appearance. The hinged branch system simplifies setup and storage.

2. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your artificial Christmas tree:

Unpack Components: Carefully remove all tree sections and the metal stand from the packaging. Ensure all parts are present.
Assemble the Stand: Open the metal tree stand and place it on a flat, stable surface. Insert the provided screw into the stand's base and tighten it to secure the legs. Do not overtighten.
Insert Bottom Section: Place the bottom section of the tree into the assembled stand. Ensure it is firmly seated and straight.
Attach Middle and Top Sections: Stack the middle section onto the bottom section, aligning the poles. Gently push down to lock it into place. Repeat this process for the top section.
Shape the Branches (Fluffing): This is a crucial step for achieving a full, natural look. Starting from the bottom section and working upwards, gently pull apart and spread out each individual branch tip. Bend the branches to fill any gaps and create a dense, realistic appearance. Allocate approximately 45-60 minutes for thorough shaping.

3. Operating Instructions

As this is an unlit artificial tree, there are no electrical operating procedures. The primary 'operation' involves its placement and decoration.

Placement: Choose a location in your living room or dining area where the tree can be viewed from multiple angles and does not obstruct walkways or entryways. Ensure the surface is level and stable.
Lighting: Since the tree is unlit, you will need to add your own lights. Begin by weaving light strands through the branches, starting from the top and working your way down. Distribute lights evenly for optimal illumination.
Decoration: Once lit, proceed with hanging ornaments and other decorations. The sturdy branches are designed to support various ornaments.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and appearance of your artificial tree:

Cleaning: Dust the tree periodically with a soft cloth or a feather duster. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then allow to air dry completely.
Storage: After the holiday season, remove all decorations and lights. Collapse the hinged branches and disassemble the tree into its original sections. Store the tree in its original box or a dedicated tree storage bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Branch Reshaping: Over time, branches may become compressed. Re-fluff and reshape branches as needed before each use to maintain the tree's full appearance.

5. Troubleshooting

Common issues and their solutions:

Tree Appears Sparse: This is typically due to insufficient fluffing. Dedicate adequate time (45-60 minutes) to thoroughly spread out and shape each branch tip, working from the inside out and bottom to top.
Tree is Unstable: Ensure the metal stand is fully opened and the screw is tightened. Verify that the tree sections are correctly inserted and locked into the stand and each other. Place the tree on a flat, level surface.
Branches Not Holding Shape: The tree's branches are designed to be pliable for shaping. If a branch does not hold its position, gently bend the internal wire to achieve the desired shape.
