M OUNTING THE S HADE S HADE A DJUSTMENT
T O O PERATE Y OUR S HADE
Your shade has been carefully inspected and
adjusted to operate properly. Once installed
however, minor adjustments may be neces-
sary.
1. The yarn in your Woven Wood shade is
flexible enough to straighten to window
opening by stretching the yarn. Pull down
on the short side to eliminate unevenness
and align the shade.
2. If the shade is not flat when lowered, roll
the shade tightly from the bottom and then
twist the roll from the ends (one end clock-
wise and the other counter-clockwise) to
align yarn and slats.
(Fig. 8)
2. To lock the shade at the desired height,
angle the lift cord outward to the side to
engage the cord lock.
(Fig. 10)
3. If the shade should bind during raising or
lowering, check the lift cords for proper
alignment on the pulleys (under valance).

1. Should a strand of yarn slip out from the
edge of the woven wood fabric, it may be
removed with scissors (from top to bottom of
shade) without affecting the strength of the
shade.
Your shade is equipped with a locking
mechanism that holds the shade at the desired
height.
1. To raise or lower the shade, pull and angle
the lift cords toward the middle of the shade.
(Fig. 9)
A slight tug will release the cord lock
allowing shade to be moved up or down.

To protect children and pets from becoming
tangled in lift cords, use one of the following
methods to keep the lift cords out of reach:
1. Clamp on with pin
2. Cleat
3. Tie the cord to itself
