3. Fitting The Blinds
Child Safety - Fitting The Card Tensioner
Your vertical blind is fully compliant with the latest safety standards. It has been supplied with a ‘P-Clip’ tensioning device to keep the cords and the chain child safe. Slot both the cord and the beaded chain into the ‘P-Clip’ and secure it to the wall or window frame (if you are fixing to the facing surface then the cord and chain will form a figure of eight, this is fine and will not affect the operation of your blind
Note:Â Please note that the P-clip must be installed. The cord must be kept under tension to prevent it from sagging down from the headrail when the blind is drawn open.
