In this video I'll show you how to set up a Mechanical Timer. They look really intimidating but they are actually pretty easy to set up!

Doing gods work with this video… my mother and I could not figure out for the life of us why they wouldn’t push down 😅 cause they already were!! 😂😂😂😂

My time has minimal instructions. Zero mention of the tabs. I NEVER would have figured it out without your video. Thank you!

Thank you SO much. I pull out my holiday lights once a year, and every year, I forget how to set my Defiant Outdoor Plug-In Mechanical Timer. Excellent instructions.

Thank you!!! This is a clear example we live in the greatest time. No one can afford to be an idiot when we have such a resource as YouTube and most of all people like you that make these kind of videos. In this case I was a knucklehead and thankfully was resourceful enough to look for aid. Carry on good sir!

[valvaldez]

You saved me from massive confusion! No instructions with my timer about the tabs. BLESS YOU!

After 2 yrs, this is the best video. Thank You.

Sometimes it’s the simplest things
that stump me! Thanks ever so much for taking the time to do this timer instruction, and doing it in a clear, straight forward way 🙂

Sir! You are the MVP!! I was so confused and thought the times was broke

[ylpea]

Thank you, I was going nuts thanks to my timer's instructions not mentioning the tabs after all!

[modhs]

Thank you! Helped me setting up my timer for my holiday lights in 2023!

Oh wow we just bought one of these mo directions in the box we did it completely backwards 😂 this helps immensely!

Thank you for this video. I purchased a house and the previous owners left us their outside lights and this timer. Since I didn't have the manual I had no idea how to set this timer. It's the exact GE timer you are covering. Thank you for this video so even a dummy like me can understand it.

I cannot thank u enough! Once i saw the video i was able to set my timer right away! Before that I could not figure it out! You’re awesome!

[bvo]

Thank you this was so easy to follow the other videos were very confusing 😕

[nataliedallimore]

Thaaank you for making this short n simple 👍🏾👍🏾

[suzetteccc]

Thank you. I was pushing down like an idiot when I started setting the time. Thankfully you told us that it was all set downward in the package!!

[bonsaidouglas]

Thank you. The directions it came with are sorely inadequate. 🍀

[captnjaygreybeard]

I have to watch one of these videos every year to get my Xmas lights to work right 😅

[sunnysolly]
