7.1 Soft Fold Eyelets

You need either the Breakaway Ring Tape (part 0879) or a quantity of Breakaway Ring Sets (Part 0878). The safety sets will arrive in two

parts and you will need to join the rings together during the makeup process.

to be joined together during the makeup process. It

is 50mm high and will need to be accommodated

in your fold spacing.

7.2 Hard Fold Eyelets

You need the Breakaway Rod Cover (part 3069) and

a cross rod (part 2135). An optional part is the rod

8 Roman Blind Chain Shortening Instructions for metal chain

Note - The distance from the floor to the bottom of the chain

must be at least 1.5 m

Note - The Safety Retainer 10400 should be installed at the

maximum distance from the operating mechanism to prevent

the looped chain becoming slack.

The Roman Blind mechanism is supplied ready assembled,

complete with operating chain loop and Safety Retainer 10400

- a specialised tool is required if the chain requires shortening -

SG 0600 joining pliers - if the system requires a longer chain it

will need to be returned to the supplier/factory for a new chain.

Step 2 - Place bead end into slotted end of 0600 joining

plier jaw - apply pressure to pliers and split bead - discard

bead and leave complete bead link stalk exposed only -

remove chain from plier jaw.

Step 4 - Place bead from

the end of chain just cut in

the slotted end of the 0600

joining plier jaw - apply

pressure to open the bead

leaving in place so the

gap/split is large enough to

drop the bead link stalk can

be inserted from the

opposite end of the chain.

Step 1 - Cut chain with pliers.

Step 3 - Now reduce chain by the amount calculated earlier

from the other end of the free chain

Step 5 - Place split bead into the closing cup position within

the 0600 pliers and hold in place with the split exposed

supported by the pliers - now drop the bead link stalk from

the other end of the chain in to the partially open bead apply

pressure and close the bead around the stalk ensuring the

end of the stalk is captive - rotate the bead and repeat the

closing process with the pliers several times to keep the

shape of the joined bead - the chain loop is now complete.

Step 6 - Fit Safety Retainer.

Firstly determine the amount of chain to be removed to shorten the chain loop, this can be calculated as follows - Part 1) Measure the

distance from the installation height to the floor and deduct 1.50 m, Part 2) Measure the current chain loop on the head rail, deduct the

distance measured in Part 2 from the distance measured in Part 1 - the difference between the two then needs to be doubled as this is the

amount of chain to be removed from the loop.
