CHILD SAFETY
Young children can STRANGLE in cord loops and in the loop above the cord
stop. They can also wrap cords around their necks and STRANGLE.
■ Always keep cords out of children’s reach.
■ Move cribs, playpens and other furniture away from cords. Children can
climb furniture to get to cords.
Cord Stop
■ This component breaks apart with minimal pressure
should a child or pet become entangled in the top lift
cords.
■ It also acts as a stopper to prevent inner cords from
being pulled through the blind, which can also create
potential entanglement.
Reassembly of Cord Stop
■ Reinsert any loose cords into the top notches of the cord
stop. There is a notch on each side.
■ Line up the two halves of the cord stop and snap the
pieces back together.
Cord
Cleats
We recommend the use of cord cleats.
■ Attach two cord cleats 6" to 12" apart at a height where they will be
out of the reach of children. Take into account that a child may
stand on furniture attempting to reach the cords.
■ Be sure the cleats are firmly secured.
■ Once the cleats are attached, wrap excess cord around them after
each use of the blind.
