Assembly:
Place the tree base on a sturdy surface and insert the center pole of the tree into the center opening of
the base. Push the tree in until it is firmly seated.
Taller trees will have an additional tree section. Insert the center pole of the lower tree section into the
center opening of the base and push down until firmly seated; tighten thumb screw if equipped. Insert
upper section center pole into lower section center pole and push down until firmly seated.
The light string cords from separate tree sections have to be connected. Connect the male connector of
the light string cord from the top section into the female connector on the light string of the bottom
section (Figure 1). Single section trees will have only one light string cord.
Shaping:
The tree is shipped from the factory with the tips of each branch
compressed to the center. Working your way up from the bottom, gently
lower each branch from its upright setting by grasping the branch and
pulling it downward (Fig. 2).
Each branch must the be shaped to a natural position by spreading out the
left and right tips away from the center tip. Continue to lower and shape
branches in the same manner as you work your way up the tree.
