Installation Instructions
To avoid creating a possible strangulation hazard for children, the corded internal
window covering must be installed in such a way that a loose cord cannot form a
loop 220mm or longer at a height of less than 1600mm above floor level.
A cord guide may be installed lower than 1600mm above the floor level if the
cord is sufficiently secured or tensioned to prevent a loop 220mm or longer from
being formed.
If a cord guide is installed lower than 1600mm above floor level it must be
designed to prevent a child from being able to remove the cord.
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.
Measure window to ensure correct
size blind has been selected for
installation type (face or recess
mount).
Cord mechanism is located on
either the left or right side of the
blind.
Top Fix Mounting: Pre drill holes on the
head rail 150mm in from each end, then
pre drill holes 500-800mm depending on
the width and the drop of the blind, the
wider the blind the bigger the space.
Measure the distance between A and B
and evenly calculate the hole spacing.
Using the necessary screws, fix the blind
into the recess.
A cord cleat is included with this product & must be
installed to avoid any possible strangulation hazard to
children.
Secure cleat to wall or architrave at least 1600mm above
floor level with screws provided. Wind any excess cod
around cleat to minimise any hazards.
See below instructions.

Face Fix Mounting: Secure brackets to
wall or architrave using necessary
screws. Ensure brackets are straight &
level & will not interfere with any
mechanisms in the blind head rail.Once
brackets are secured, lift blind evenly &
place into brackets.
For larger size blinds, two person lift may
be required. Screw up through the
bracket onto the head rail.

Cord Stops
Why install cord stops?
There is a potential strangulation hazard stemming
from the “inner” or “left” cords of horizontal window
blinds and shades.
The problem occurs when a corded window blind or
shade is lowered, but not locked into position.
This leaves a small amount of slack in the inner cord.
Infants have reportedly been able to grasp the
slackened inner cord and pull it around their necks.
Once installed correctly cord stops are designed to
reduce the rick of strangulation to children under 5
years.
Cord Stops make it less likely for a child to loosen and
pull in inner cord of a lowered blind, thus avoiding a
potential strangulation threat. Install cord stops to
prevent inner cord access.
How to install cord stops
11. To correctly position
cord stops, lower blind
to the maximum
length it will be used.
Lock cords into
position at head rail.

PULL CORDS
2. Grasp one pull cord
and create a loop just
below head rail. Slide
cord stop onto loop.
Holding the cord stop 3-
6cm below the head
rail, insert end of pull
cord through the loop
to make a knot around
the cord stop.
