Branch Shaping Instructions
Branch shaping is best performed during assembly
procedure but can be done, if preferred, when tree
assembly is completed.
PRE-LIT TREE NOTE: If your tree is pre-lit, and not a
power connect tree, it is recommended that the light
plugs between sections be connected prior to or at the
same time as shaping is performed.
wire insulation.
• Never operate this product if the power cord
or plug is damaged.
• Use only manufacturer specified replacement
bulbs.
• Read and follow all instructions that are on
the product or provided with the product.
USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
• When storing the product, carefully remove
the product from wherever it is placed,
including trees, branches, or bushes, to avoid
any undue strain or stress on the product
conductors, connections, and wires.
• When not in use, store neatly in a cool, dry
location protected from sunlight.
1. Trees are shipped from the factory with the tips of
each branch compressed to the center (Figure 1).
Branches should be shaped one row at a time. Make
sure that all of the branches of the row to be shaped
have been moved to their lowered position.
2. Starting with the bottom row of the tree bottom
section, pull the two branch wing tips out away from
center to about a 45º angle (Figure 2).
3. The smaller individual tips should then be spread out
separately (Figure 3). Figure 4 shows a fully shaped
branch with wing tips.
4. Follow this same sequence as you work around the
bottom row of branches. When completed, move up
to the next branch row and repeat.
5. As you work your way up branch rows, the wing tip
style branches will diminish, but branches will
otherwise shape similarly. Figure 5 shows a fully
shaped branch without wing tips.
6. The top section of the tree will have wrapped
branches in place of hinged branches. Gently lower
the branches and shape in a similar manner as the
branches in previous sections (Figure 6).
7. Upon completion of the assembly and shaping
procedures, walk around the tree and perform
additional shaping to fill any obvious holes or
openings.

Assembly Instructions
Fig. 7 Fig. 9Fig. 8
Each carton contains one bottom section, one middle
section (larger trees include additional middle sections),
one top section and a metal tree stand.
Special note about larger trees: Some of the larger
trees (9 ft. and taller) will include more than one middle
section. If your tree contains additional middle
section(s), note that each will be numbered in
ascending order. The tree bottom section (which inserts
into tree stand) will be number 1. The next section as you build up, will
be number 2. Section 3 will follow until assembly is completed by
inserting tree top section.
1. Remove packing material from ends of all poles. Unfold the tree stand
and partially insert the eye bolt.
The tree bottom section will have a tapered center pole. Insert the
bottom section pole into the tree stand making sure it is seated
properly (Figure 7). Tighten eye bolt.
2. Release the tie wrap holding the branches together and let the
branches fall into their lowered positions (Figure 8). Begin shaping
process (see Branch Shaping).
IMPORTANT NOTE: When lowering
branches be extremely careful not
to tangle wire in gap between
branch and bracket.
Optional: Lubricating middle section pole ends prior to assembly will
make sections easier to separate when disassembling for storage.
3. Insert the middle tree section into the bottom section. Repeat
instructions in number 2 above.
Insert additional section(s) if included and repeat instructions in
number 2 above.
4. Insert the rod of the top tree section into the green plastic opening of
the middle tree section. This is the “pole cap” which keeps tree top
section securely in place (Figure 9).
Begin shaping process (see Branch Shaping). If preferable, tree top
branch shaping can be performed before inserting into middle section
pole cap.
Trees with WRAPPED Branches
The assembly procedure is the same, but unlike hinged tree branches,
wrapped branches need to be individually lowered to position. Working
your way up from the bottom, gently lower all branches from their
upright setting by grasping the branch and pulling it downward (Figure
6). See Branch Shaping for proper shaping procedures.
Trees with Branches
These tree designs do not require extensive branch shaping. Branches
fall into place during assembly. Minimal shaping may be required to fill
obvious holes or openings.
ree Light Connections
T
There are several variations of pre-lit tree light connections. Refer
to the below LIGHTING STYLE descriptions and supporting diagrams
to find the light connection instructions for your tree.
LIGHTING STYLES
STYLE 1: Each tree section has a light string cord that will plug into a
receptacle on the section below. The extension cord at the bottom of the
tree plugs into a standard electrical outlet or other power source.
NOTE: Trees with more than 1300 lights will include an additional
extension cord. This extension cord must be plugged into an electrical
outlet separately. We recommend using a multiple socket power strip
(not included) to accept added light set extension cords.
STYLE 2: The light string cords from all sections should be pulled down
through the center of the tree. The cords can then be plugged into each
other and then into an extension cord to power supply.
STYLE 3: Low voltage LEDs. Each tree section has a light string cord
that will plug into a receptacle on the section below. Note that the male
and female connectors are keyed and will only connect in one direction.
After connection, twist closed each connector nut securely.

STYLE 4: These trees do not require
the connection of light strings

connections are made when each
section is assembled. During tree
assembly or disassembly, DO NOT
DISCONNECT any of the factory
connected light strings that are
located on the center pole or within
the tree.

Bulb Replacement Instructions
1. Unplug light string from power source.
2. Pull up on the base lock unlatching the bulb from the
bulb socket. Gently pull the bulb straight out (Figure 15).
3. Before inserting the new bulb into socket,
make sure that the two wires on either side of
the bulb base are straight up and flush with
the base (diagram at right).
4. Carefully insert new bulb into socket and push
down Base Lock until it snaps into place (Figure 16).

CONNECTION STYLE 4
Lights Operating Instructions (if equipped)
The foot switch operates the functions of the lights. There are nine functions,
each one is activated with the press of the foot switch. Functions occur in the
following order:
Steady warm white; steady multicolor; steady pastel; warm white fading to
multicolor; fading warm white; Fading multicolor; flashing warm white; flashing
multicolor; flashing warm white to multicolor.
Light functions always follow this sequence.
Storage
Gently compress the tips back into the center of each tree branch. Raise all
branches to original upright position taking care not to place undue pressure on the
attached ends of the branches. Secure the section branches together with tie wrap
(if included).
When disassembling tree, a twisting motion will help to separate the sections from
each other. All tree parts can be replaced in carton and should be stored in a cool,
dry place.

NOTE: Fuse failure is sometimes a reason for nonfunctioning light strings. The fuses are found in the light
string plug. If one is burnt out, replace it with a spare
fuse included in the accessories bag.
