• 1 Wooden Roman Blind with matching headrail, valance, matching pull cords with wooden toggle and operating pulleys.
• L-shaped brackets with locking butterfly nut and bolt.
• No. 6 wood screws.

Fitting the Wooden Blind

Consideration should be given to the location of the blind as follows:

• INSIDE RECESS: Brackets should be positioned to avoid latches etc.
• OUTSIDE RECESS: The blind should overlap the recess equally on each side.

  Present the blind to the location ensuring it is centered, mark with a pencil where the L-shaped brackets are to be fitted. The brackets are positioned adjacent to the prepared holes in the headrail (fig 1). The brackets can be either face fixed, or top fixed. Drill small holes for the fitting screw required.

Reducing the Blind Width

If the width of the Roman blind needs to be reduced, ensure that equal amounts are trimmed from each side. Care should be taken not to cut the string bindings. The width can be reduced by a maximum of 20cms (10cms each side) to avoid problems with the pull cords, with the exception of the 60cm wide blind where the maximum is 2cms.

The wooden headrail can be trimmed with a fine-toothed saw, and the blind with heavy duty scissors.

Install the Brackets

Screw the L-shaped brackets into the small holes (fig 2).

Install the Roman Blind

Remove the butterfly nuts from the brackets and position the protruding bolts through the headrail. Ensure the valance is facing forward. Replace the butterfly nuts and tighten fully (fig 3). Hold the pull cords at eye level and move to the left to release the cord lock and lower the blind. Allow the blind to unroll to full extent to even the cord lengths on both sides. To raise the blind move the pull cords to the left to ensure the cord lock is released and pull down on the cords. At the desired position of the blind move the pull cords to the right to lock the cords.
