SHAPING
1.
The branches were compressed to fit into the box and can be reshaped to their original fullness by
bending and separating each of the branches in a more realistic manner.
2.
Please reference the image on the cover of this instruction manual to see what the tree should look like.
3.
Shape by section and layer, starting at the bottom of the tree and working your way up to ensure
coverage of the whole tree.
4.
Gently pull down each branch to an approximate 90° angle to the floor on the lower sections and about a
45° angle on the upper sections.
5.
On each branch, begin by shaping the tips closest to the pole and work your way to the end of the
branch. Fan the tips up and out to the sides.
6.
Offset the branches from one another to hide the tree’s pole and fill spaces. Continue spreading the tips
until they resemble that of a real tree.
7.
After shaping the whole tree, step back and take an overall look. Shift branches to fill any gaps. Your tree
is now ready to decorate and enjoy!

STORAGE
P
ROPER TREE HANDLING AND STORAGE WILL HELP YOU GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR TREE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME
.
1.
Remove any ornaments and decorations that were added by you and did not come with the tree.
2.
If the tree is used outdoors, allow the tree to dry of any moisture prior to packing.
3.
Starting with the top, separate each tree section and stand gently, being sure not to roughly handle as it
could cause damage to the parts.
4.
Compress each tree section by turning it upside down and squeezing the branches together so that it
will fit more easily into the storage box or container. You can also tie a ribbon or cord around the
sections to secure the branches closer together for storage.
5.
Place all the parts gently back into the storage box. The box will help prevent the tree from being
damaged should it get bumped in your garage, basement, or other storage location. Tape the box shut
to keep out any dust or insects. When packing up the tree, please ensure that there is no undue strain or
stress on the tree.
6.
Be sure to store the tree in a cool, dry area free of water and moisture to prevent mold and mildew from
accumulating and a musty odor from developing. Exposing your tree to excessive heat or humidity may
damage your tree. DO NOT STORE TREE IN A DAMP AREA OR IN AN AREA WHERE THE TEMPERATURE
EXCEEDS 100ºF. STORE THE CARTON FLAT AND
NOT
UPRIGHT ON ITS SHORT END.
