IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. Please check that all parts have been supplied before you begin to assemble your new
Custom Venetian Blind.
2. Ensure that the blind is mounted level for correct operation.
1. Position the end brackets for fixing (either face or top) ensuring that the
brackets are fixed approximately 50mm from the end of the blind.
The centre bracket (required for blinds exceeding 1200mm width) may
be positioned as required.
NB: Make sure not to position the brackets where they would interfere
with the working mechanisms of the blind.

“snap” into position.

WARNING!
Blinds must be fitted with safety devices provided to comply with legal requirements. Please turn over
leaflet for instructions to fit safety devices.
To Operate The Blind
Important – always tilt the slats horizontally before raising or lowering the blind.
This will extend the life of the blind, and makes the movement easier and smoother.
Raising: Pull the cord downward until the blind reaches the desired height; release the cord, and the blind will lock automatically.
Lowering: Hold the cord at eye level and move it to the left, pulling down gently until the cord lock releases. Allow the cord to pass through
until the blind reaches the desired level. Move the cord to the right and release, and the blind will lock automatically.
Tilting: Rotate the wand on the blind in either direction to attain desired slat position

Install blind according to the directions provided, making sure the
headrail is securely fastened. Lower the blind to the maximum desired
length, and lock the cords in place.
1
Measure the distance from the headrail to the cord stops. If the cord
stops are 25 to 50mm below the headrail, no further adjustment is
needed. Your blind is ready to use.
2
If cord stops ARE NOT 25 to 50mm below the headrail, loosen (but do
not untie) the knot surrounding the cord stop.
3
Push both the cord stop and the loosened knot toward the headrail until
the cord stop is 25 to 50mm below the headrail. Hold the cord stop in
place and pull firmly on the cord to retighten the knot. Repeat steps 2, 3
& 4 for each cord stop.

Cord cleats must be installed to comply with Regulations.
The cleats must be installed at least 1600mm above floor level, because a child
is capable of unwinding a cord from a cleat.
Fasten the cleats to the wall using the screws provided. Do not use tape or glue to
attach the cleats.
Note: the cord must be wrapped around the cord cleat to prevent child strangulation.
The cord must not form a loop longer than 220mm, and should be wound
entirely around the cleat.
WARNING - ALL WINDOW COVERINGS WITH CORD OR CHAIN
To avoid creating a possible strangulation hazard for children, the corded or chained internal window covering must be
installed in such a way that a loose cord or chain cannot form a loop 220mm or longer at a height of less than 1600mm
above floor level.
* A cord/chain guide may be installed lower than 1600mm above floor level if the cord/chain is sufficiently secured or
tensioned to prevent a loop 220mm or longer from being formed.
* If a cord/chain guide is installed lower than 1600mm above floor level, it must be designed to prevent a child from being
able to remove the cord/chain.
* If a cleat is used to secure the cord, it must be at least 1600mm above floor level because a child is capable of unwinding
a cord from a cleat.
The use of hold down brackets is recommended for additional child safety, but is not a
requirement for the normal functioning of the blind.
Using the two screws provided, attach the base of the hold down bracket to the
window facing or sill. Additional fixing can also be fitted through the side of the bracket
(where suitable). Snap bracket pin ends into the holes in the ends of the bottom rail.
