Before stringing outdoor lights, check for overhead power lines. Never place yourself or any object in a position that risks contact with a power line—the result can be fatal. Look up before raising ladders or other objects. Keep at least 10 feet away from overhead lines.Before stringing lights on outdoor trees, make sure tree limbs haven't grown into or near power lines. Branches, entire trees and even the ground adjacent to a tree can become energized when trees contact power lines.Ski gogglesMake sure lights outside the house are approved for outdoor use. Never use indoor lights outdoors.Follow the manufacturer's limits for the number of light strings that can be connected together safely.Check all light strands for cracked or broken plugs, frayed insulation or bare wires. Worn cords can cause fires, so discard damaged sets of lights.
