Using this mirror ball motor is easy. First, make sure you're in an indoor area as it's for indoor use only. Hang the motor by its 7.5 - inch chain. Then, attach your mirror ball (up to 16 inches in diameter) securely to the motor. Plug it in, and it will start rotating at a slow 1 RPM, creating a cool lighting effect. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean and free from dust. Don't expose it to moisture as it might affect its electrical safety, which is ETL - approved. If you have any issues, it's best to consult a professional.
