With tailors chalk draw a faint line across the blind.
NOTE: Ensure the lines are parallel before sewing
blind in step 6.

with the rear pocket at the bottom of the tape as
shown opposite.
TRIM RODS AND TAPES ONLY IF REQUIRED
BMeasure and trim the 5 lengths of tape to the blind
width plus 1cm (3/8”) at either end for seams.
CPlace the lengths onto the chalk marks made
previously and turn one side of each length in

STEP 7
POSITIONING THE HEADRAIL
PLEASE NOTE: Additional fasteners other than those
sent with your blind may be required depending on the
mounting surface. Wallboard and plaster require the use
of anchors such as expansion or toggle bolts. Brick, tile
or stone need special plugs and drill bits. Remember to
always pre-drill holes in wood to avoid splitting.
A Inside a Recess
Decide the position of the headrail so that it will be clear
of any latches and window fixtures. If you need to reduce
the width of the headrail to fit the recess, this should be
done BEFORE assembling. See ‘Trimming the headrail’
instruction on the following page.
B Outside Recess
Decide the position of the headrail so that the overlaps on
both sides of the recess are equal. It is advisable to allow
a minimum of 5cm (2”) overlap on each end.
STEP 9
INSERTING THE BOTTOM BAR
Trim the bottom bar to the same width as the roman
rods cut previously (2cm (3/4”) shorter than the blind
width). Insert into the bottom pocket of the blind.
Place a tacking stitch at each end to hold in place.

CORDING THE BLIND
For ease of assembling the rail is pre-corded.
AWorking vertically from where each cord will drop
from the cord guides, thread the cord through the
pocket tape. After the last row of pocket tape thread
a hook on cord toggle onto each cord.
BUsing an upward motion as shown, thread the hook
on cord toggle into the last row of pocket tape.
DO NOT ALLOW THE CORDS TO BECOME TWISTED.
With the blind held in a level, vertical position, adjust
the hook on cord toggles so that equal tension is held
on each and they are level. Trim any excess cord at a
distance of 4cm from the hook on cord toggles.
DO NOT KNOT THE CORDS.
Should the cords ever become detached please ensure
when replacing that they are aligned vertically and that
the hook oncord toggles have equal tension on each
and they are level.
STEP 13
ATTACHING BLIND TO THE HEADRAIL
Line up the blind/loop tape with the hook tape on the
headrail and press firmly to secure the blind in place.
STEP 12
FIXING THE SUPPORTS
AThe brackets are designed for face or top fixing to
frame, wall or ceiling.
BMark through the screw holes the position for the
cam supports making sure they are level and in line,
check with a spirit level.
With the brackets removed, drill each bracket screw
position. Fix brackets into place using screws provided,
check alignment and level as you go. Use the wall
plugs provided for plaster and masonary walls.

MOUNTING THE CHAIN SAFETY GUIDE
Read these instructions carefully before installing and
using the chain safety guide.
Children can be strangled if this safety device is not
installed correctly. Use of safety device helps reduce
the risk of strangulation but cannot be considered
entirely fool proof.
AWith the chain safety guide on the chain, mark a
suitable mounting position for the chain safety guide
at a point where it keeps the chain taut. NOTE: The
safety device shall not be installed less than 1.5m
from the floor. It is essential that the chain safety guide
shall be installed at the maximum distance possible from
the control mechanism to prevent the looped chain
becoming slack.
BUse appropriate fixings to mount the chain safety
guide, depending on the surface to which the device
is being fitted.
Children can strangle if this safety device is not
installed correctly. Always use this device to keep
cords or chains out of reach of children.
STEP 15
CONVERTING TO LEFT HAND DRAW
UNTRIMMED TRACK
AUnscrew, slide and remove the end cover and chain
pulley.
BSlide the end cover and chain pulley into the opposite
ends of the rail from previous. Tighten screws to secure.
STEP 16
CONVERTING TO LEFT HAND DRAW
TRIMMED TRACK
AUnscrew, slide and remove the end cover and chain
pulley.
BSlide the inner bar at the end where the chain pulley
will be placed into the rail so it is at least 2cm from the
rail end for 120 - 150cm, and 3cm for 150 - 210cm
rails.
CRotate the bar so that the grub screws at the side of
the cord guides are accessible. Loosen both the cord
guide screws and grub screws. Reposition so that they
align with the corded positions on the blind.

To avoid strangulation and entanglement, keep cords out of the reach of young children. Cords may become wrapped around
a child’s neck. Move beds, cots and furniture away from window covering cords.
Do not tie cords together. Make sure cords do not twist and create a loop. Cut the cord to suitable length to ensure it can be
wound around the cleat several times when your roman blind is both open and closed.
Children can strangle if the cleat device is not installed. Always use this device to keep cords out of reach of children.
WARNING Young children can be strangled by loops in pull cords, chains, tapes and inner cords
that operate the product.
