How to fit and use your

Warning
Blinds can be potentially dangerous to small children. Please be aware that swallowing small parts can
cause internal asphyxiation. Looped or low hanging cords, chains or tapes can create hazardous loops
which could lead to the risk of strangulation. We do everything we can to ensure your chosen product
is child safe. As a minimum all of our blinds meet the European Standard BS EN 13120 for safety. Our
instructions and the supplied Child Safety device(s) are intended for you to ensure that your blind is as
safe as possible.
The information below gives guidance for fitting the provided child safety devices. All safety devices must
be correctly installed for the protection from strangulation of young children and the proper use of the
blind. Please read the instructions carefully and keep safe for future reference.
Only use the devices and cords provided with your blind. Videos showing how to fit and reconnect child
safety devices are available, along with replacements at

To reconnect the inner cord breakaway clip
1.
The inner cord breakaway clip is attached to the cord and the tape on the reverse of the blind.
The clip will break away in two parts if any reasonable weight is placed between the cord and the
back of the blind.
2.
One inner cord breakaway clip will be used on
each cord where it crosses a tape. See fig. 1.

3.
If the clip breaks apart, push the small c-clip section
(which will remain on the cord) onto the front of the

Deluxe Roman (Sidewinder)
Fitting the safety hook
1.
Put the control chain into the hook at
the maximum distance from the control
mechanism. Ensure that the chain is taut and
that the hook is at the bottom of the loop.
2.
Screw the hook to a wall adjacent to the blind. If
the hook has a slot, ensure the screw is placed
at the bottom of the slot and that the chain is
taut before screwing in place. This will prevent
the hook from moving up and down during
operation and ensure that the correct tension is
maintained. See fig. 1. Fig. 1.
