children cannot pull the bead chain around their neck.

b) Hold the tension device in the upright
position as shown in the diagram.
c) Position the tension device on the window
frame or wall so that the device and the
control chain do not interfere with the
raising and/or lowering of the shade.

position, insert and secure the screw through the hole.
• Pull gently on the chain in one direction to raise the shade;
pull in the other direction to lower it.
