Important information Prior to Installing Full Blockout Cassette/Roller

1. Drill Pilot holes with selected size drill bit, test pilot hole size is correct for select- ed screws on sample materials.
2. With masonry holes we recommend testing one masonry hole with Green plugs and crew prior to drilling all holes in masonry, to help ensure fixing is adequate.
3. You will require different drill bits depending on different materials. Consult your qualified local hardware store for further assistance if required

*Note; Screws are not provided by Blinds Downunder, due to the different nature of fixings to different materials.
As a rough guide we recommend;**

1. 40mm x 7 gauge\ Timber screws for face fit timber or MDF architraves
2. 30mm x 7 gauge\ Timber screws for internal recess fit Blinds and child safety devices, with timber\MDF reveals.
3. 6 gauge\ self-tapping screws for aluminium or steel fixings
4. Green Plugs and appropriate screws for masonry fixing, as guided by qualified local hardware store.
5. Blinds Downunder does not recommend fixing brackets directly to plaster. If this is your chosen fixing option, toggle bolts or plaster plugs, are sometimes recommended by your qualified local hardware store. This would normally be recommended as a last resort for fixing your brackets. Your Local hardware store will most likely recommend the highest load bearing capacity plugs and check if screws fit through bracket holes.
6. Blinds Downunder only recommends fixing to solid substrates behind plaster ie; Timber noggins, Timber/steel lintels, Timber or steel studs or masonry.
7. We recommend if you are unsure with your install, take photos of install area and discuss with your qualified local hardware store for further detailed advice regarding fixing options. Blinds Downunder takes no responsibility for poor fixing or damage caused by incorrect installations.
8. Be mindful there could be electrical or plumbing within your fixing area. Take all appropriate actions to eliminate potential dangers.

IMPORTANT CHILD SAFETY INFORMATION

Referenced on Page 3 (19) and Page 4 (15)
ACCC SAFETY TIPS AT HOME Finally: Secure the cord off to the wall or inside of the reveal with a Child Safety Device to comply with the Australian Child safety Regulations. It is required internal window covering ‘must be installed in a way that a loose cord cannot form a loop 220 mm or longer at less than 1600 mm above floor level’.Cord guides—may be installed lower than 1600 mm above floor level, so long as the cord guide will remain firmly attached to a wall or other structure specified in the ACCC installation instructions, when subjected to a tension force of 70 N (Newtons) applied in any direction for 10 seconds and cannot form a loop 220 mm or longer at less than 1600mm above floor level. A force of 70 N is approxi mately equal to applying a 7 kilogram weight and has been assessed as the likely amount of force a child may exert on a blind cord guide by grabbing, pulling or hanging on it.Solid fixing is required when fixing Child Safety Devices.Double sided tape or glue is non compliant and is unsatisfactory. If you are unsure seek professional advice.All blinds require warning labels and our installer labels to be permanently installed. These guidelines need to be followed for child safety compliance. Refer to our child safety page, ACCC guidelines and downloads. These standards are required on all corded roller blind installs. By purchasing our product, you agree to comply with ACCC guidelines on all roller blind supplied by Blinds Downunder.
ACCC SAFETY TIPS AT HOME
When installing new blinds and curtains, make sure you or the installer secure any loose or looped cords—do not leave them hanging down.
Go through every room in your home and check for any blinds or curtains with long cords that are either loose or looped. Remember, this includes any cords that are within children’s reach at floor level or near furniture they can climb on.
Do not put children’s cots, beds, highchairs or playpens near a window where children can reach blind or curtain cords. The cords can become tangled around children’s necks and strangle them.
Do not place sofas, chairs, tables, shelves or bookcases near windows with corded blinds or curtains. As young children like to climb onto furniture to look out the window, they may quickly become entangled in the cords, lose their footing, and suffer strangulation or serious injuries.
Accidental strangulation can happen very quickly, so never leave children alone in rooms where cords are unsecured if you’re visiting someone’s home, even for a short while.
Some blinds can’t operate properly without looped cords. To keep them out of children’s reach you should secure these cords with eithertie-downs (cleats),
or tension devices that enclose cords and chain loops.
Always fix tie-downs and tension devices firmly to the wall or window-frame so a child is not able to remove them. Never use materials that can’t support a significant load, such as double-sided tape or glue. WARNING: CURTAIN AND BLIND CORDS HAVE CAUSED THE DEATH OF YOUNG CHILDREN AND MUST BE INSTALLED SO THAT THEY ARE NOT A STRANGULATION HAZARD. FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
COMPONENTRY
While the standard cassette layout uses a conventional flat base rail and side channels, there is a second configuration easily achieved that uses the same side channels to form a bottom channel, making the cassette system 360-degree wrap-around and fully light blocking. A patented corner block seamlessly joins the sections at the bottom corners to create a perfect connection.
