CAUTION

1.  This lighting string is rated at 40.8 watts (0.34 Amps), and does not overload. Connect other lighting strings or decorative outfits end-to-end up to a maximum of 216 Watts (1.8 Amps) total.

2. If connecting to a lighting string that does not have a Wattage (W) rating {found on the tag within 6 inches of the plug} calculate the wattage as follows: Multiply the current (___A) which is on the flag-type tag by 120. For Example, the Lighting string is rated 120V, 60 Hz, 0.2 Amps. 0.2 X 120 = 24 Watts Add the wattage of each light string together for a total of 216 Watts or less. (Do not exceed 216 Watts.)

3.  To reduce the risk of overheating, replace burned-out lamps promptly. Use 2.5 Volt, 0.425 Watt lamps only.

4. To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock: a) Do not install on trees needles, leaves or branch coverings of metal or materials which look like metal, and b) Do not mount or support strings in a manner that can cut or damage wire insulation.
