- In this video I show how to use a plug in mechanical timer in a few very simple steps. These timers can be used to turn on electrical appliances automatically. For example a household lamp, or a fish tank pump can be turned on and off using a plug in timer while you are away from your home.

Thanks for this mate I was absolutely BAFFLED as to how to do this lmao
No problem!
Thanks mate I've had one of these for 11 years and realised it's been heating my water 6 hours a day. Just set it to heat 1 hour a day. You're gonna save me a lot on my bill. Owe you one! Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! 🙏🏽 ❤
the most comprehensive tutorial on youtube on setting up the timer.thanks!
Thanks for the feedback.
I always found this device quite mystical because it looked so confusing but now I know. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for this video!!! No one wanted to help me understand the hours at the store I bought the timer from. You explained it simply and effectively. Thank you again.
Glad to have helped.
Great job
Thankyou for this, genuinely saved me, young lad in his first house who's dad left a bit earlier in life 😅 good and informative vid and helped me out
The instructions that came with my plug were useless. Thanks for the useful info bro
No problem 👍
This will be very helpful for my fish tank light
I was ready to tear my hair out, but I watched your video and learned the one thing I was doing wrong: I had the switches pulled up rather than pushed down. I had it set for the opposite of what I wished and did not even know it. I thank you!
I keep looking at one of these in Home Bargains and have asked lots of shop assistants how they work but nobody knows. It cannot tell you how much I appreciate this video. Thank you so much. Your instructions are brilliant.
Glad to help, thanks for watching 👍
Really easy to understand, straight to the point and very complete.
Thanks for this man!
Thanks for the feedback!
Clear, concise and to the point. Thank you for explaining so well. Simple when we know how!
Thanks for the feedback 👍
This guy is really switched on. Video clear and to the point! Keep her lit big fella!!
Thanks for the feedback!
As only use this type of timer at Christmas time with outside lights (the mains are inside connected to the outside box) always forget how yo set !
These were clear simple instructions.
Thank you 😊
Thank you!!!!! I have never had to operate one of these and the one I bought assumed I would know how to use it, it didn't even mention the prongs! Thank you so much
Thank you so much. Just bought these from Argos for my Xmas lights. Was a little confused with the instructions. Sometimes it’s the easiest things that can cause confusion❤
This the simplest and clearest explanation on YT. One suggestion: it would be good to make it clear and demonstrate that the device can turn on and off at several times during the day if you want. I guess that comes in the advanced course. 🙂
Hey, You are the best explainer of mechanical devices I have ever listened to, and thus making everyone else who tries to do this, useless. *TIP, you should do this as a full-time job for many other types of things also. Regards Steve.
Thanks so much. Have been sat on a couple of timers for weeks but decided it would be easier to get up and feed every 2 hours rather than learn something new. Your explanation made it so easy I wish I had cracked sooner. Will have my 1st nights sleep since before Christmas.
Glad to help 👍
This is best accurate explanation I have seen so far.. thank u sir
No problem, merry Christmas 🍺
OMG! Indeed you are lifesaver for me. Ive just purchased similar plug socket from brand SoundTech however the manual instruction is so confusing, luckily after watching your video I understand. Now testing the timer to see if it works. Thank you for sharing. From: Singapore.
You are welcome!
Thank you so much ! We had this thing ever since we had our Fish Tank, it died and we haven't used it since. Now I can automatically turn off and on my fan so it doesn't overheat, cause this summer weather is ridiculously hot.
My man, just found one of these around the garage and was trying to figure out how it works. Thanks a lot
No problem!
Same here, found a couple of brand new ones in the back of a storage closet. Will come in handy during the humid nights we are having here in the UK. I feel so old fashioned, but I'm proud of it, hahah!
I read the instructions over and over then looked it on line and got directed to a UK version of the timer this made it so easy for me and I thank the you tuber very much for explaining it in simple terms much appreciated
Glad it helped!
Brilliantly explained. Bought a set of these timers and they just came in a bag. Cheers mate !.
No problem!
Thank you so much! Finally I can have my Christmas outdoor lights turn on automatically 🎉
Thank you this was a life saver. Bought it online and the instructions provided made no sense.
Been searching online for instructions and came across this video, thank you for being a huge help!
No problem, glad to help!
I was struggling with it at first but now I'm on it proper top man
Glad to have helped!
I couldn't work out how to set the blue timer switches until I realised that they were all already pushed down when you unpack the timer. I had to lift them all up to start with.
Good luck with it!
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE Thanks. Works very well. And thanks for the video.
Same 🤦🏻♀️
Great instructions, questions were popping into my head and were being explained in the video. Great job.
Many thanks was able to follow your tips and set up my timers! Very grateful to you...
Excellent video, instructions so clear and simple to understand👏👏Thank you -I can finally use it after years of trying to get it to work👍👍🤩🎉
Super demonstration. Clear and concise. Many thanks
You are welcome!
A lot easier than the package instructions. Thank you
You're welcome!
Thank you very much for a very clear explanation for how it works!
Great video. Saves me going into the garage now to turn off the Christmas light. Thanks a million
You're welcome!
Thanks. I'm used to the old style with the little clips . I got a new style and your video helped a lot.
Glad I could help!
I found a really old model of one of these in a draw and had no idea how it worked so thanks for this. Even tho yours is a newer version the instructions you gave were easy enough to follow and to transfer to the version i have
Thanks for watching!
perfect instructions! going to get one for my broadband, want it turned off from midnight until about 7am
Glad to have helped!
You can do that by going on ur routers hub online and setting a timer for when it's useable
@@UsmxnJ will check it out
Thank you so much , i need to buy one and they looked really complicated. You made it seem simple. Thanks again.
Each Christmas I have to look up how to use the timer, thank you for making it easy to understand.
No problem, hope it made you Christmas even better! Thanks for watching 👍
My father in law lent us one of these and instead of asking him how to use it because I didn't want to look stupid, I found this video. Thank you 😁
No problem 👍
Thank you so much now I can do my fish tank easily and better and not worry about electricity
When I first saw it I was more confused but you helped send me in the right direction and I did it waiting to test it
Glad to help
Oh my god thank god somebody's got the same one found this in the drawer couldn't work it out because all the blue things were pushed in and I had no idea how to use it😂 once I saw you pushing and pulling them blue things in and out it was pretty straightforward😂
Glad I could help!
Finally!! Thanks for having this. Very helpful unlike other videos.
Glad it was helpful!
Finally thank you for showing the side switch! I had to go thru 5 vdo to find that out😢
OMG, I was looking at it and I was too stunned to even do anything with it, haha. Thank you so much for this :)
No problem, glad to help 👍

You're welcome!
Thank you!

Thanks mate! The instructions were no where near as clear and to the point as you were! In fact the instruction paper was pretty crap!
Glad you found it useful.
Thanks very clearly explained great advice 👍 thanks

Wow wow wow~ Like your video so much! Spot on and clear. Thanks!
Thanks for watching 👍
Yep. Big help with my Argos purchase. Cheers
No problem 👍
Great. Thank you.
Thank you, that's so helpful!
No problem.
Do you have to reset it each time or will it stay set for aslong as u leave it. Going away for 7 days so would like one that comes on at a fixed time each day
Perfect explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, thank you
So helpful thanks
Thank you so much. I was so confused! Xx
No problem.
Thank you for the explenation
THANKS SO MUCH GOD BLESS U🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching.
Perfect! Why can’t the instructions be that clear ?!
They never are! Thanks for watching.
Best tutorial I found on TH-cam about this gadget! 👌❤️
If I turned the dial deliberately to speed up the timer (like you did), is that okay or is there any chance it will break a spring or wheel inside?
Glad you liked it. No it shouldn't break as it's designed to turn to set the time in the first place. Best of luck 👍
Great video, thanks 👍🏻
Thank's Sir.
Super useful!
hello
your videos help a lot
i have got wall lights but has a switch on it. But i will like to change them without the switch on and and put it on to a switch plugs how do i do it the can get me some advice.
Thank you
That's a job for an electrician!!
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE
Thank you
was gonna use mechanical timer to charge e scooter but guess not cos swithcing power on plugging in mains is bad while socket connected to bike they say . so off might make a spark too or . and fiddling around with it makes misteakes so l turned it on while connected.
Hello and thanks for posting this video. If there happens to be a power outage lasting several hours, as is common in Third World countries, will this type of timer get thrown off, and thus require a re-set of the current time so as to restore normal function ?
Yes it will. It relies on continuous power to work the timer. Thanks for watching.
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE This reply is appreciated Pouse sir. I'll go ahead and order a couple of those Chinese made ones that contain a backup battery to keep the clock running during power outages.
Thanks. That was good
Nice clear explanation 👌
Glad you found it useful 👍
Thank you!! 🙏 🙏🙏
