WIDTH SHORTENING INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to shortening the width, review the mounting instructions in the next section to measure the exact distance between the brackets for the best fit.

- Place a small mark on the hem of the shade (B) to indicate your desired width. (Fig. 2)
- Use scissors to make a small cut through the shade hem at your mark. (Fig. 3)
- Gently tear all the material from the scissors cut through the hem down to the cardboard. (Fig. 4)
- Tear away the excess cardboard, then slowly push the telescoping roller inward to match the new width of your shade. (Fig. 5) Carefully replace the endcap.
- Slip the handrail into the hem and snap off the excess to match the new width of the shade. (Fig. 6)
