Positioning the cord stops and reducing the slat
stack at the bottom
1. The cord-stops are preinstalled 2.5-5cm from the headrail,
they need to be loosened (but do not untie them) and moved
down the cord by hand before you can lower the blind (fig.13).
2. Lower the blind to the maximum desired length and lock in
place.
3. Push the cord-stops and the loosened knots toward the
headrail until the cord-stops are 2.5-5cm below the head rail
(fig.14).
3
4. Hold the cord-stop in place and pull firmly on the pull cord to
re-tighten the knot (fig.15).
5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 for the other cord-stops.
Reducing the blind drop
5
1. Measure the drop required.
2. With the blind fully opened and placed on a flat surface,
remove the plugs in the bottom rail and untie the knot in the lift
cord (fig.16).
3. Remove the base rail and surplus slats.

4. Cut off the excess ladder cord/tape ensuring that at least
25mm surplus remains (fig.17). DO NOT CUT THE LIFT CORD.

Fitting the child safety cleat
The child safety cleat (fig.19) is designed to keep loose cords out
of young children's reach and avoid the risk of strangulation.
1. The cleat needs to be installed as close to the headrail as
9
possible and, in all cases, not less than 1.5m from the floor.
9
2. Mark and fix the cleat using correct fixings. Ensure that the
fixing is secure.
2
Check the cords at regular intervals to ensure they have not
become tangled and formed a loop.
Each time the blind is operated, the cords should ALWAYS be
wrapped around the cleat to ensure that they cannot be reached
and that the cord cannot be pulled loose by young children.
Please follow the steps below:
1. Wrap the cord tightly around the cleat in a figure of 8 motion as
shown in fig.19.
2. When nearing the end of the cord, loop the remaining length
over the body of the cleat allowing the minimal amount of cord
to drape from the cleat as possible.
