10. Trimming the headrail
Tool required is a hacksaw.
10. A Remove the headrail end cover.
10. B Trim the track with a fine hacksaw.
10. C Re-fit the the end cover.
11. Positioning the cord guides along the back of
the headrail
Note: If you require a left hand draw see point 18
before repositioning the cord guides.
11 a. To position the cord guides push up release catch A,
slide to desired position, spaced equally and exactly
above a row of loops on the tape.
11 b. Lock by pressing the catch back down.
12. 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.
13. Cording the blind
For ease of assembling the rail is pre-corded.
13. A With the split cord collector no less than 20cm from
the cord pulley and the blind layed flat, work from the
blind top. Where each cord will drop from the cord
guides, thread the cord vertically through the pocket
tape. After the last row of pocket tape, thread a hook
on cord toggle onto each cord.
13. B Using 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 on
cord toggles have equal tension on each and they are level.
14. Fixing the wall support brackets
The brackets are designed for face or top fixing to
frame, wall or ceiling.
14. A Mark through the screw holes the position for the
brackets making sure they are level and in line, check
with a spirit level.
14. B Leave a gap of at least 2cm between the end
brackets and the end of the headrail to avoid clashing
with the end cover and the cord lock. Also make sure
the bracket positions will fall between the cord guides.
With the brackets removed, drill each bracket screw
position using a 6mm drill bit. Fix brackets into place
using screws provided, check alignment and level as
you go. Use the wall plugs provided for plaster and
masonary walls. We recommend for plaster walls a
wooden batten be secured first.
15. Installing the finished roman blind
15. A Clip the finished roman blind onto brackets by
resting the headrail on the top arrowed position and
pressing back until it rotates and clicks into place.
15. B. To remove the headrail depress and release the
underneath catch.
