2. Safety Information

Read all safety instructions before installation and use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.

• Electrical Safety: Always ensure the power source is disconnected before installing, replacing bulbs, or performing maintenance. Do not overload the circuit. Use only with compatible voltage and wattage as specified.
• Bulb Compatibility: This product does not include bulbs. Use only LED or incandescent bulbs with an E26/E27 medium base. Do not exceed the maximum wattage rating per socket (refer to product labeling for specific limits).
• Outdoor Use: When used outdoors, connect to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected outlet. Ensure all connections are secure and protected from moisture.
• Placement: Do not install near flammable materials or surfaces. Ensure the string lights are securely mounted to prevent falling. Avoid placing the cord in high-traffic areas where it could be a tripping hazard, though the yellow cord enhances visibility.
• Damage Inspection: Regularly inspect the cord, sockets, and plugs for any damage. Do not use if the cord is frayed, cracked, or if any sockets are damaged.
