Hinged Tree Assembly Instructions
HELPFUL HINTS • Read instructions completely before you assemble your tree. The model
number of your tree is printed on the side of the carton. Always use this number to identify
your tree if any question arises. • Save the carton for storing your tree. • Use miniature tree
lights. • Replacing burned-out bulbs will make the other bulbs last longer. • Handling the wiring
and bulbs with care during packing and unpacking will prolong the life of the lighting package.
BEFORE ASSEMBLING
1. Choose a clear, level location near a wall outlet.
2. Open the tree stand and tighten the locking screws on the stand.
3. Carefully insert the Bottom Section of the tree into the locked stand. (The bottom
section is the one with the point.) Make sure all wires stay clear of the stand opening
when joining the sections.
4. Allow branches to fall into place or gently pull out and down. IMPORTANT: When
adjusting branches be sure that all wires are free of branch hinges.
5. Locate the stacked plugs in the tree section. Plug the stack into the extension cord on
the tree pole. Do Not Separate Any Plug From the Stack.
6. Plug the extension cord plug into your wall outlet. The tree section should now light up.
If any lights do not light, check the plug stack for loose plugs. Also, check for broken or
missing bulbs. If you find broken or missing bulbs, replace with replacement bulbs, as
necessary.
7. Insert the Middle Section into the top of the pole of the standing Bottom Section.
Repeat Assembly Steps 4 through 6 for the Middle Section of the tree.
8. Insert the tree top section into the top of the pole for the middle section. Repeat
Assembly Steps 4 through 6. Plug the single plug for the top section into the top outlet
of the middle section.
SHAPING
1. Shaping: Work from branches closest to pole. Fan out branches on to the left, one to the
right and one at the center of the main stem. Alternate branches so that they do not line
up one behind the other. At the end of the stem, the center branch tip should extend
straight out. Curve each branch slightly to provide a natural look.
2. Shaping at the top: Pull down branches of the lowest layer in an even circular pattern.
Repeat for each layer, working towards the top branch. Curve each branch straight up
into position. Bend the top branch straight up into position.
3. Top Section: Install tree top section by inserting the tree top into hole providing at the
top of the pole. The tree top should conform to the rest of the tree.
