FRASER HILL FARM FFEM048-5SN Vintage Christmas Tree
Product Information
The Christmas tree comes with a tree stand, one tree top, and one to five
sections with branches. Large trees of 10′ and above may also have a securing
chain assembly. The model number of the tree is printed on the side of the
carton, which should be used to identify the tree. The stand shown in the
instructions may differ from the stand supplied with the tree. The tape used
on the wiring harness should only be removed to change a fuse. Exposing and
using the outlets covered on the harness may cause a fuse to blow or a circuit
overload that could result in a fire. The product comes with a fuse for
overload protection. A blown fuse indicates an overload or short circuit.
The model number of your tree is printed on the side of your carton.
Always use this number to identify your tree.

Your Package Includes:

(Large trees 10’ and above may also have a securing chain assembly)
Product Usage Instructions
Before assembling the tree, read all instructions completely.
Use only miniature tree lights. Follow the steps below for tree assembly
- Remove the tree stand and adjust the legs to form an X shape and loosely insert one of the thumb screws to secure the legs in place. (An additional screw has been provided for your convenience.)
- Your assembled tree may be heavy and difficult to move, so place the stand in the desired location before assembling.
- Remove the temporary plastic covers from the end of the pole sections with branches.
- Place the widest tree section with the highest letter value (also the only section with a pointed end on the bottom of the pole) into the stand. Tighten the thumb screw on the stand.
- Allow the branches to fall into place. This may require gently pulling them outward & downward as branches can get tangled during shipping. Be careful not to pinch any of the light-string wires between the branch and hinge.
- Starting with the bottom row, open the leaves or tips of the branches by separating them into different directions. Start with the tips closest to the pole and work your way outward alternating the tips left, right and center.
- Gently curve the branch tips upward to provide a more realistic and uniform appearance.
- Some branches may have wings or side branches. Wing branches should be pulled horizontally away from the main branch and pointed forward at a 45º angle.
- When each section is complete, step back and look at your work. Cover any gaps by shifting branch tips to fill them.
- Set the next highest lettered section with branches into the bottom section and follow the same steps as above. Continue until you reach the top section.
- Lastly, insert the Tree Top section “A” and bend and shape the tips by pulling them away from the center.
- For EZ-Connect trees, firmly connect each section as the lighting connection is in the pole. For standard pre-lit trees, plug the extension from section “A” into the marked wiring harness on section “B,” etc.
- Align tree to assure that it is perfectly vertical and tighten all thumb screws.
Storage tips: You may want to save the carton for storing your tree. Remove
all ornaments. Store the tree in a cool, dry area where the temperature does
not exceed 100ºF.
THE TAPE USED ON THE WIRING HARNESS SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED TO CHANGE A FUSE.
EXPOSING AND USING THE OUTLETS COVERED ON THE HARNESS MAY CAUSE A FUSE TO BLOW
