8 Roman Blind Chain Shortening Instructions
Note - The distance from the floor to the bottom of the chain
must be at least 1.5 m
Note - The Safety Retainer 10400 should be installed at the
maximum distance from the operating mechanism to prevent
the looped chain becoming slack.
The Roman Blind mechanism is supplied ready assembled,
complete with operating chain loop and Safety Retainer 10400
- a specialised tool is required if the chain requires shortening -
SG 0679 joining pliers - if the system requires a longer chain it
will need to be returned to the supplier/factory for a new chain.
Step 2 - Place bead end into slotted end of 0679 joining
plier jaw - apply pressure to pliers and split bead - discard
bead and leave complete bead link stalk exposed only -
remove chain from plier jaw.
Step 4 - Place bead from
the end of chain just cut in
the slotted end of the 0679
joining plier jaw - apply
pressure to open the bead
leaving in place so the
gap/split is large enough to
drop the bead link stalk can
be inserted from the
opposite end of the chain.
Step 1 - Cut chain with pliers.
Step 3 - Now reduce chain by the amount calculated earlier
from the other end of the free chain
Step 5 - Place split bead into the closing cup position within
the 0679 pliers and hold in place with the split exposed
supported by the pliers - now drop the bead link stalk from
the other end of the chain in to the partially open bead apply
pressure and close the bead around the stalk ensuring the
end of the stalk is captive - rotate the bead and repeat the
closing process with the pliers several times to keep the
shape of the joined bead - the chain loop is now complete.
Step 6 - Fit Safety Retainer.
Firstly determine the amount of chain to be removed to shorten the chain loop, this can be calculated as follows - Part 1) Measure the
distance from the installation height to the floor and deduct 1.50 m, Part 2) Measure the current chain loop on the head rail, deduct the
distance measured in Part 2 from the distance measured in Part 1 - the difference between the two then needs to be doubled as this is the
amount of chain to be removed from the loop.
