TAKING OUT THE TREE
PUTTING UP THE TREE
~2 cm
1.
To release the foot pedal, press
down on the foot pedal while you
slide the lock into the unlock position
(green).
Push the foot pedal upwards to open
the claws. Continue pushing in a
step-by-step action until claws are in
a vertical position.
Give the trunk a straight and even
cut. Set the trunk in the center of the
stand over the spike. Make sure the
trunk and spike have contact but do
not use force. Do not drill a hole into
the trunk.
!
The foot pedal must be lifted with
suitable foot wear. To avoid injury do
not place any body parts (fingers) in
area of the clamps.
!
The trunk may not be drilled in the
middle. If the cut is inclined or the
trunk is drilled, re-cutting the trunk is
necessary. An uneven or inclined cut
causes reduced stability and enhanc-
es the risk of the tree to fall.
Pump the foot pedal until you hear
the ´Ding´ and the lock automati-
cally slides into place. The claws now
have optimal contact to the trunk and
the tree stand is now secured.
Add tap water to keep your tree
fresh. Slowly fill the water tank until
the level indicator measurements are
clearly visible.
Do not overfill the tank. Use the in-
dicator measurements to guide you,
and stop before the red zone is fully
visible.
!
Ensure the tree is securely anchored
in the stand.
!
Overfilling can damage the seal and
create recurrent leaking, and may
cause damage to your floor cover-
ing.
Leave the claws open. Store the christmas tree stand open.
To remove the Christmas tree, press
down on the foot pedal while you
slide the lock into the unlock position
(green).
Hold the tree in an upright position.
Lift the foot pedal several times. The
clamps will open in a step-by-step
action. Continue lifting the foot ped-
al until the claws are in a vertical
position. Now you can take out the
Christmas tree.
To drain the water, tip the stand to-
wards the level indicator opening
into a sink. Wash the stand with a soft
sponge and a mild detergent. Rinse
thoroughly.
!
Do not use any chemicals or abrasive
cleaners.
Dry completely prior to storage.
• Do not use the tree stand for any other purpose like sign
plates, clothes dryers, flag poles or sunshades etc. KRIN-
NER will not cover any damage done by misuse of this
Christmas tree stand. This Christmas tree stand is for indoor
use only.
• Before putting up your Christmas tree, ensure that your
tree stand has a secure base. A thick carpet is not a se-
cure base! Only use the tree stand on a solid, level and
even surface. Uneven or inclined surfaces cause reduced
stability and enhance the risk of the tree to fall.
• To prevent possible damage to your carpet or floor, the use
of a heavy plastic sheet underneath the Christmas tree stand
is recommended.
• To prevent floor damage due to possible leakage, please
check water tank for cracks and holes yearly before tree
setup. Check the water level indicator for free movement.
Use a pointed tool to pull the indicator up and out. Wash
with soap if there are sap residues.
• While pushing down the foot pedal with your feet, ensure
that there are no hands or other body parts in between the
clamps and the trunk as it can cause serious injuries. The
Christmas tree stand is not a toy! Do not allow children to
operate the tree stand. Make sure they are not near the
stand while setting up your tree.
• This Krinner Christmas tree stand is a safety product. Do not
alter the construction of the Krinner Christmas tree stand.
This will void the warranty. Do not use the stand if it shows
any structural damage.
• If electric lighting is used, do not allow this electric lighting
to burn unattended. (!) Water is a conductor. Ensure that
electric wires are in a safe distance to the water tank of the
Christmas tree stand.
• Adding too much water will lead to overflowing and may
cause damage to the surface underneath. Strictly follow the
instructions under the chapter ‘Putting up the tree (6.)’
• A fresh and green Christmas tree reduces the fire hazard.
The trunk must have a fresh, clean and even cut to absorb
water. Therefore always keep sufficient water in the tree
stand.
• Ensure that the tree is securely fastened, well balanced
and positioned in the middle of the tree stand before
applying decorations and lighting.
• Keep your tree away from fireplaces and open flames.
