Breakaway Safety Tassel
A breakaway safety tassel comes pre-fitted
to the lift cords, so when a horizontal force is
applied to the cords entering the tassel, it
will safely break apart thereby eliminating any
hazardous loops.
If the safety tassel becomes separated:
Firstly, untwist and untangle the cords.
If the blind features 2 cords: press
the tassel together until it is fully
closed.
If the blind features 3 cords: Place the
loose cord into the opening in one half
of the tassel and press the tassel
together until it is fully closed.
If you have any doubts that the tassel
has not been re-attached correctly, you
can test it by placing your arm between
the cords and pressing downwards. The
tassel should break apart with minimal
force.
Cord Safety Cleat
The safety cleat needs to be installed as close as possible to the headrail and in all cases not less than 1500mm from the floor. The
cords must be fully wrapped around the safety cleat(s) when the blind is not in use. Refer to the table below to determine the
distance required between the cleats to fully accumulate the cords when the blind is completely raised up.

Place the safety cleat in the
desired position on the wall
and mark the positions of
the holes with a pencil.
With the hole positions marked,
drill as required and use the
screws provided to attach the
safety cleat to the wall.
Wrap the cords around the
cord cleats in a figure of 8.
When the cords are fully
accumulated, ensure they
are secure so that when any
cord is pulled, no excess
cord is released.
