OPERATING THE SHADE
Pulling gently on the chain in one direction raises the shade; pulling it in the other direction lowers it.
On shades where the fabric rolls against the window, the front chain does the raising. On shades where the fabric rolls toward the room,
the rear chain does the raising.
INSTALLING THE CHILD SAFETY DEVICE
The Child Safety Device reduces the hazards of strangulation and entanglement of young children by limiting
access to the control chain. Anchor the Child Safety Device, which is attached to the shade’s control chain, to the
window frame or wall, so that young children cannot pull the cord around their necks.
1. Lower the shade.
2. Hold the child safety device upright as shown in the diagram.
3. Position the child safety device on the window frame or the wall so that the child safety device and control
chain do not interfere with raising or lowering the shade.
The child safety device should be installed
without stretching or pulling down on the control chain. Stretching the chain will cause excessive
wear. Do not twist or cross the control chain.
If using stop balls,position the tension device 1/4 inch higher
to allow the stop ball to pass through the tension device.
4. Holding the child safety device upright, and in position, as shown, insert and secure the screws through the
holes.
The mounting screws must be secured into a solid surface or molly.
ATTACHING A STOP TO THE CONTROL CHAIN
The stop on the plug bracket prevents the shade from being rolled up too far. But a stop should also
be attached the control chain to prevent the shade from lowering too far. A stop bead is included with
the chain for this purpose.
1. Lower the shade to the lowest desired point at the sill or floor.
2. Place the stop bead over the bead closest to the clutch on the side furthest away from the
shade. On a standard roll shade this will be the chain in front. On a reverse roll shade, it will be
the chain in the back.
3. With a pliers, gently squeeze the stop so that it cannot be removed.

ADJUSTING THE SHADE HEIGHT
If needed, the shade can
be leveled by adjusting the
height of the slot on the spring
bracket. This can help prevent
telescoping of the roll as the
shade is raised. It is also useful
for adjusting shade height of
two shades placed next to each
other so they are plumb with
each other
Using a 2mm hex wrench, turn
the vertical jack screw to raise
or lower the inner mount of the
spring bracket.
SHIMMING THE SHADE
A slight amount of telescoping is normal, But if a large amount
of telescoping still occurs when the shade is rolled up, even
after leveling the shade by adjusting the spring bracket, try
shimming the shade.
With the shade rolled all the
way down, place a piece of
tape on the side of the roll
that the fabric is telescoping
away from.
The shade will always track
towards the side where the
tape is placed
