Getting started
YOU WILL NEED:
•
A drill with correct bit
•
A crossheaded
screwdriver
•
A metal tape measure
•
A pencil
•
Your brackets are
packed separately in
the box. Please ensure
you’ve located them
before disposing of
the packaging.
•
The brackets are a
universal type that
can be used to top fix
the blind into a recess
or face fix into a
frame or a wall.
•
Please read the
following instructions
carefully before you
start fitting your blind.
1
To fix the brackets
1.
Locate the measuring points you used to
calculate the width of the blind. You may be
able to use the blind as a template.
2.
Ensure the brackets are positioned a suitable
distance away from any window handles or
obstructions to allow the blind to operate
smoothly.
3.
Ideally, position the brackets 5cm in from
each end of the head rail. Any additional
brackets supplied should be fitted centrally.
4.
Hold a bracket in position and mark where the
screws will go, using the relevant holes in the
bracket as a guide.
5.
If you’re fitting to a wall or lintel, use a drill
with the suitable sized bit to make your holes,
and push in rawplugs.
6.
If you’re fitting into a wooden frame, screw your
brackets into position. You may want to make pilot
holes to allow easier fixing of the screws.
7.
Fix the bracket into place and repeat on
the other side of the blind.
TIP
– If fitting outside the recess, use a spirit
level to ensure that the brackets are level. If a
spirit level is not available measure down
from the ceiling in three places to get the
brackets as level as possible

To fix the blind
1.
Open the locking arm on each bracket as far
as it will go.
2.
Clip the front edge of
the head rail over the
bracket, at a slight angle
away from you, then
push up into place at the
back.
3. Push the locking arms
across into the closed
position and check
the blind is secure.
4.
For a neat finish you can pull the fabric
away from the rail slightly when fitting the
bracket to hide the lip on the bracket.
TIP
– To slightly straighten or adjust the drop of
the blind, you can adjust the position of the
fabric by raising or lowering the fabric by
changing the position of the Velcro where it is in
contact with the headrail
