that should be checked before
plugging in the set to the mains.
The flexible cable and lampholders:
is the cable in good condition?
is it free from cuts, fraying and
damage?
are the connections at each
lampholder sound?
are the lampholders free from cracks
or damage, that might give access to
the live cable or live contacts of the
lamps?
The lamps:
are they all in place, undamaged,
properly screwed or pushed in?
The plug/transformer
Check that the plug is not damaged.
Look for signs of overheating.
Check the fuse (if any), make sure it is
the correct rating.
IF ANY DOUBT, HAVE THE SET CHECKED
BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE
USE OR SCRAP AND PURCHASE A NEW
SET.
Where the set is intended to be
connected to the supply via a 'plug-in
transformer', only use the transformer
supplied with the set. Otherwise if the
output voltage does not match the
voltage of the lamps overheating may
result.
Functional Tests
After the visual inspection and
correcting any faults found, including
tightening of lamps and replacement
of broken or missing lamps, plug in
and switch on the lamp set. Replace
any faulty lamps with ones of the same
voltage rating and manufacture, check
the box for details. Spare lamps are
usually provided with the set.
Lamps should not be removed or
installed with the supply on.
Only replace 'fused' lamps (sometimes
identified by a white mark on the glass)
with identical 'fused' lamps.
Installation on Christmas Tree
Christmas trees because of the pine
oils, and particularly after being in a
heated room for a week or two, are
very flammable. Tree decorations may
also be flammable and should be kept
clear of the lamps as far as possible.
Christmas trees should be mounted
securely so that they are unlikely to fall
over, or be knocked over by children
or pets. They must be kept clear of
heat sources, including spot lamps and
particularly CANDLES.
Take care when decorating the tree,
use a stepladder if the tree is tall and
wear shoes. Many more accidents
are caused by treading on plugs and
lamps in bare feet than faulty electrical
equipment.
