Push down a pin for every half hour
A mechanical timer has a dial with a ring of pins around it. Turn the dial until the current time lines up with the arrow, push down the pins for the stretch you want the power on, and the timer repeats that pattern every day. On most of these timers each pin is 30 minutes, 48 steps in a day. The heavy-duty outdoor timer uses 96 pins, one per quarter hour.
There is no screen, no battery and nothing to program twice. After a power cut the dial stops and starts again where it stopped, so it runs late by the length of the outage until you turn it back to the right time. Indoors, pick the 2-prong or 3-prong plug to match your lamp. Outdoors, the timers carry 2 grounded outlets, and the mechanical power stake carries 6. the TiFFCOFiO lineup makes the pin dial in all of them.

Questions
TiFFCOFiO 24-hour mechanical outlet timers: your questions
Turn the dial clockwise until the current time sits at the arrow. Push down the pins for every stretch you want the outlet on, then switch the timer to the timer setting instead of always-on.
Yes. The dial stops while the power is off, so it runs behind by the length of the outage. Turn it forward to the correct time once the power is back.
