Placement of your Christmas Tree Place you tree out of a high traffic area and away from any heat source. Heat sources such as fireplaces, heater vents, space heaters, television sets, etc. If your tree is leaning, secure it with some twine or strong string. This means that the lights have been tested by the Underwriters Laboratories and are safe. If any one of the problems is present, throw the light set away.
Damaged lights can shock a person or start a fire.
If you have to use an extension cord, use no more than 3 sets of lights attached to it. Also be sure there are no exposed wires on the floor where someone may trip over them. Be sure to unplug your lights when you leave home or go to bed. When decorating the tree, it is a good idea not to decorate the lower limbs with breakable ornaments if small children or pets are in the house. The could be knocked off and break and serious cuts may result.
