BREAKAWAY CORD CONDESNER
Breakaway cord condenser is
pre-fitted to the lift cords so that when
a horizontal force is applied to the
cords entering the condenser it safely
breaks away eliminating any hazardous
loops.
If the cord condenser is pulled apart:
Untangle and untwist cords.
For 2 cords: Press the cord condenser
together until it is fully closed.
For 3 cords: Place the loose cord
in the opening in one half of the
cord condenser and press the cord
condenser together until it is fully
closed.
For 4 cords: Place one of the loose
cords in the opening in one half of the
cord condenser, the remaining loose
cord in the opening in the other half
and press the cord condenser together
until it is fully closed.
If there are any doubts that the cord
condenser has not been re-attached
correctly it can tested by placing your
arm between the cords and pressing
downwards. The condenser should
break apart with minimal force, if it
does not breakaway tie cords out
of reach of children and contact a
reputable blind company to repair the
blind.
