STEP 1: BEFORE YOU START
Please read all instructions carefully and check the contents of your package.
Check the measurements of your blinds against your order, remembering the factory will have made a small allowance for fitting.
STEP 2: TOOLS REQUIRED
Ensure you have all the tools required. You will need a metal tape measure, pencil, screwdriver, drill and step ladder. Standard screws are supplied as part of your package. Wall plugs, toggles and other fasteners may be required. Remember: safety first at all times!
STEP 3: FITTING THE BRACKETS
Your timber venetian blind can be installed to fit inside or outside your window frame.
- Attach brackets to headrail, ensuring that their positions do not
interfere with the internal workings of the headrail. - Hold the headrail (with brackets) in position, checking that the headrail is level.
- Mark the position of the brackets then remove the headrail and blind.
- Holding the brackets in place mark the position of screw holes through each bracket.
- Attach the brackets with screws through the mounting holes.
For safety and support fit all brackets provided.
STEP 4: HANGING THE BLIND
Pick up the blind and push headrail up into mounting brackets. Make sure the bracket is in the open position and the blind cords and tilting wand face toward you. Close the bracket by pushing the lever from left to right until you feel it lock into place. Lever will now be hard against the headrail face. Place wooden valance over the top of headrail.
STEP 5: STEPS TO PROTECT CHILDREN
To avoid creating a possible strangulation hazard for children, the corded internal window covering must be installed in such a way that a loose cord cannot form a loop 220mm or longer at a height of less than 1600mm above floor level. A cord guide may be installed lower than 1600mm if the cord is sufficiently secured to prevent a loop 220mm or longer being formed, and it must be designed to prevent a child from being able to remove the cord. If a cleat is used to secure the cord it must be at least 1600mm above floor level because a child is capable of unwinding a cord from a cleat. For more information visit productsafety.com.au
STEP 6: HOW TO OPERATE
To open/raise blind using the cord, draw blind down and up to ensure blind operates correctly. To rotate blind, rotate wand to attain desired slat positions.
Caution: When slats are closed, stop twisting wand, continuing to twist wand in the same direction may damage the rotator.
