13.People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using this product. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference to or failure of the pacemaker. In addition, people with pacemakers should adhere to the following:

???Avoid operating power tools alone.

???Don???t use a power tool with the power switch locked on.

???If powered via a power cord be certain that the tool is properly grounded. A ground fault interrupt (GFCI) system is also a good precaution. This inexpensive device is a good safety measure because it prevents a sustained electrical shock.

???Properly maintain and inspect all tools before use to avoid electrical shock.

Assembly AND OPERATING Instructions

Note: For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages, refer to the Assembly Diagram near the end of this manual.

1.WARNING! Make sure the Power Switch of the product is in its ???OFF??? position before making any adjustments to the product.

2.Decide where you want to place the Solar Light Set. Choose a location that receives full, direct sunlight a minimum of six hours a day. The location should not be near nighttime light sources such as porch lights or streetlights as this will cause the

Solar Light Set to remain off.

3.The Solar Light Set will need to charge for at least twelve hours before using it for the first time. Allow to charge for two sunny days before the Solar Light Set is fully charged. During initial charging, set the switch to ???Off???.

4.Located underneath the Battery Cover (9) is a Auto/Off Switch (7). The Switch can be set to either ???Auto??? or ???Off???. Set the Auto/Off Switch to ???Auto.???-see Figure 1 and Parts Diagram.

5.Moving the Auto/Off Switch (7) to ???Auto??? will automatically turn on the Solar Light during the night. After the initial charge is set, check to see that the Light (2) is on by viewing the light at night or in a dark location. If the Light (2) is not lit, check the position of the ???Auto??? Switch.

6.Note: During the day, the Solar Panel converts sunlight into electricity, recharging the battery. The amount of light the Solar Panel receives depends on placement of the Solar Light, geographic location and weather. If the weather is cloudy and the panel did not receive a full charge, the Solar Garden Light may not achieve the full hours of operating time. It will catch up on its own after two to three days of full sun.

7.Set the Hummingbird, Dragonfly or Butterfly onto the Top Tube (3). Slide the Top Tube (3), into the Bottom Tube (4). Slide the Stake (5) onto the Bottom Tube (4).

8.Push the Stake (5) directly into the ground. Make certain that the path of the Stake

(5)is clear of lines, cables and conduits.

replacing the Batteries

1.It is recommended that you replace the battery every 12 months.

2.Unscrew the screws from underneath the Battery Cover (9) and remove it from the

Solar Panel (1)-see Figure 1.

3.Remove and properly recycle the old battery. Make certain that the new battery is Ni-Cd ( ???AA???, 1.2V, 600 mAh) rechargeable.

4.Install the new battery into the Battery Compartment. Make certain that the battery is placed according to the correct polarity-see Figure 1.

2.WARNING! Make sure the Auto/Off Switch is in its ???OFF??? position before per- forming any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
