If the blind is fully raised with the slats in the “closed” position, the

cord lock might not release when you attempt to lower the blind. If

this happens simply rotate the tilt wand such that the slats are in the

“open” position and the cord lock will function normally.

To lower blind: move cord to the left while pulling down gently until

cord lock releases – allow cord to slip through ﬁngers until blind

reaches desired level – move pull cord to the right and release –

blind will lock automatically

To raise blind: pull cord downward slowly until blind reaches desired

height – release cord and blind locks automatically

To tilt blind: rotate wand to attain desired slat position – the “closed”

position can only be achieved with convex side of the slats facing

into the room – this is the position to be used for maximum privacy

and minimum light penetration.

Note: due to the unique construction of this blind, the bottom rail will curve back slightly when

the blind is raised. This is normal and does not effect performance in any way.

Make sure the cord stops are properly positioned – see

step 8 below

Step 7. How to Shorten (for ready made blinds - does not apply to

custom blinds)

After the blind is installed:

Remove the buttons from the bottom rail with a screw driver or

knife.

Untie or cut off the knot in each lift cord. Grasp each lift cord at the

point that you wish to shorten to and pull it up and out of all slats

below this point, then remove all of these slats and the bottom rail.

Put the bottom rail back into the cord ladders at the shortening

point.

Cut off the excess ladder cords, but leave one ladder step below

the bottom rail (at least one inch of cord).

Place the lift cords back through the bottom rail and tie a knot.

Push the ladder cord material into the holes in the bottom rail and

replace the buttons.

If it is necessary to shorten or equalize the length of the lift cords,

do so now. Mark the cords at the desired height. Slide the tassels

above this point, re knot the cord, and then cut off the excess

cord. BE CERTAIN TO ADJUST THE SAFETY CORD STOPS AS

DESCRIBED NEXT.
