INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Firewinder Original has been designed to be easy to install and enjoy,
however please ensure you have read these instructions carefully
before using the product.
• We recommend that you mount your Firewinder on a vertical wall or post using the
Mounting Brackets supplied to ensure safe operation at all times.
• Failure to follow these instructions may cause injury or damage to your Firewinder

• Mark Feldstein & Associates, inc. and The Firewinder Company does not accept
responsibility for damage or injury that occurs to your Firewinder or property from
incorrect installation.

• If you require further guidance on installing your Firewinder, please visit
www.markfeldstein.com to see our step-by-step installation video and pictures
showing typical installation locations.
• NOTE: There is always a slight color variation with white LEDs (sometimes they
have a hint of blue/green) hence each Firewinder is subtly unique and slight color
variations will be seen at different wind speeds. This is perfectly normal.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check package contents
Please check to make sure that you have all the necessary parts in the box, these will include:
1 x Firewinder Original
2 x Mounting Brackets - both are slightly different
1 x Big Pin and 1 x Little Pin – provided in a plastic bag
2. Getting to know your Firewinder
Stand your Firewinder upright on a flat surface resting on the Bottom Fixing Point and hold the Top
Fixing Point with one hand. With the other hand, gently spin the Helical Wing. The lights will light up.
3. Identify the best place to install your Firewinder
Remember, you might find that the most pleasing place to install your Firewinder is not always the
windiest location, so we recommend spending some time to study how the wind flows around your
property before deciding where to make an installation. See www.markfeldstein.com for pictures of
typical installation locations.
Make sure the place you choose to install your Firewinder is safe to access and that you have
permission to install it.
Once you have selected your desired location then consider the surface you intend to fix the
Mounting Brackets to. You will need to purchase four suitable screws or bolts in order to
install your Firewinder. It is your responsibility that the Mounting Brackets are fixed
securely. We do not provide these fixtures simply because of the variety of installation
possibilities.
