Safety Instructions For Christmas Lights
Christmas Light Safety Instructions:
When using Christmas lights, basic precautions should always be observed including the following holiday light safety tips;
Your holiday lights are not toys! To avoid risk of fire, burns, personal injury and electric shock, the holiday lights should not be played with or placed where small children can reach them.
Do not use Christmas lights outdoors unless the lights are marked suitable for outdoor use. When outdoor Christmas lights are used in outdoor applications, connect the outdoor Christmas lights to a ground fault circuit interrupting [GFCI] electrical three pronged outlet.
Seasonal holiday lights are not intended for permanent installation or use. Store all holiday lights in a dry cool storage area.
Do not mount or place Christmas lights near gas or electric heaters, fireplaces, candles or other similar sources of heat.
Do not secure the holiday light sets with staples or nails since they could damage the protective wire coating.
Do not place the wire on sharp objects.
Do not let the holiday light bulbs rest on the lights supply cord or on any other electrical wire.
Unplug the Christmas light bulbs when retiring for the night or if the lights are left unattended. You can use an approved three pronged plug timer to turn your lights On and Off so you do not have to unplug your lights.
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not mount or support the Christmas lights in a manner that can cut or damage the light sets.
Do not close your doors or windows on the Christmas lights or extension cords as this may damage the protective wire insulation.
When the lights are in use do not cover the Christmas holiday light bulbs with cloth, paper or any material not part of the light set.
Only use United States UL approved 110 / 120 volt Christmas lights.
If your Christmas lights are equipped with push-in type light bulbs, do not twist the holiday light bulbs. Pull the bulbs straight out of the light bulb socket.
To reduce the risk of overheating, replace any burned out light bulbs promptly. Make sure you use the same volt and wattage replacement light bulbs.
Always unplug your Christmas lights before installing or replacing the light bulbs.
Do not overload the electrical wiring of the holiday lights. Only connect the recommended amount of party light sets [usually three sets if not stated in instructions] on one continuous light string.
To avoid the risk of fire, do not replace the factory light plug. The factory plug contains a safety device (fuse) that should not be removed. Discard the holiday light set if the plug is damaged.
Always read the manufacture’s complete use and care instructions for the holiday light bulbs.
Safety Tips For Lights With Overload Fuses:
A blown fuse indicates an overloaded circuit and you need to reduce the amount of lights connected to the circuit. A blown fuse may also be caused by a short-circuit. The Christmas light set with a short-circuit should be discarded. Always unplug your lights before installing or replacing the light fuses. To avoid the risk of a fire, replace the blown fuses with like amp and volt fuses.
