This document provides an installation guide for Twist2Go Roller Blinds, designed for easy, made-to-measure fitting. The blinds are intended for window covering applications, offering both aesthetic appeal and light control.

Function Description:

Twist2Go Roller Blinds are a type of window covering that can be easily installed without complex tools or extensive DIY experience. The core function of these blinds is to provide privacy and light regulation within a room. They operate via a roller mechanism, allowing the fabric to be raised or lowered to cover or uncover the window. The "Twist2Go" aspect highlights a unique installation method that involves a tightening mechanism, making them suitable for various window recesses. The guide details two primary installation methods: one for general use and a slightly modified approach for smaller blinds, and another for larger blinds, ensuring secure fitting across different sizes.

Important Technical Specifications & Usage Features:

Installation Process (General):

1. Initial Placement: The blind is inserted into the window recess at an angle.
2. Securing Mechanism: A "tightener" component is pushed against the wall to initiate the securing process.
3. Leveling and Locking: The control end of the blind is lifted until it is level. Releasing pressure at this point allows the blind to hold itself in place.
4. Final Adjustment: Users are instructed to make adjustments to ensure the blind is straight and level before fully locking it into its final position.

Installation Process (For Smaller Blinds):

For smaller blinds, the securing process involves a "tightening wheel."

1. Secure Holding: The blind must be held securely in place.
2. Tightening Wheel Operation: The tightening wheel is turned clockwise relative to the roller tube. This action tightens the blind, securing it in place.
3. Control Side Identification: The guide illustrates both "Right Control" and "Left Control" configurations, indicating where the tightener (or tightening wheel) is located relative to the control mechanism. For a right control blind, the tightener is on the left; for a left control blind, the tightener is on the right.

Installation Process (For Larger Blinds):

For larger blinds, the process is similar to smaller blinds but includes an additional locking step.

1. Secure Holding & Tightening: Similar to smaller blinds, the blind is held securely, and the tightening wheel is turned clockwise relative to the roller tube to tighten it.
2. Final Locking: Once the blind is secured, an "end cap" is turned until it locks against the tightening wheel. This action locks the tightening wheel in place, providing extra security for larger blinds. The cap is turned anti-clockwise relative to the roller tube for this locking action.

Top Tip for Installation:

A crucial tip provided is to "Make sure that you tighten the wheel as much as you possibly can so that the blind remains secure and does not slip." This emphasizes the importance of maximum tightening for stability and longevity of the installation.

Safety Specifications:

Minimum Installation Height:

For safety reasons, the top of the blind must be installed at least 150cm (1500mm) from the floor. This is a critical safety measure, likely aimed at preventing children from accessing the blind's mechanisms.

Child Safety (Cord Tensioner):

The guide includes a dedicated section on child safety, particularly concerning corded blinds (though the Twist2Go Roller Blinds are generally cordless, this section might be a general safety warning for all blinds2go products or for specific corded variations).

1. Cord Retaining Device: If the blind has a cord, a cord retaining device must be installed.
2. Placement: This device must be installed at the maximum distance possible from the control mechanism to prevent looped cords from becoming slack.
3. Installation Steps:
   • Place the device on the wall and mark screw hole(s).
   • Attach the device to the wall using provided fixings.

WARNING (Strangulation Hazard):

A prominent warning highlights the danger of strangulation for young children by loops in pull cords, chains, tapes, and inner cords.

• Prevention: Keep cords out of reach of young children.
• Furniture Placement: Move beds, cots, and furniture away from window covering cords.
• Cord Management: Do not tie cords together, and ensure cords do not twist and create a loop.

Maintenance Features:

While the document primarily focuses on installation, the emphasis on secure tightening (as much as possible) can be seen as a preventative maintenance step, ensuring the blind's stability and reducing the need for re-adjustment. The locking mechanism for larger blinds also contributes to long-term stability. No specific cleaning or repair instructions are provided in this excerpt.

Overall Design and User Experience:

The guide is designed to be user-friendly, incorporating visual aids (diagrams and a reference to a video guide) alongside step-by-step written instructions. The clear differentiation between installation steps for smaller and larger blinds, as well as the explicit safety warnings, contribute to a comprehensive and responsible user experience. The "blinds2go™ made to measure, made simple" tagline reinforces the product's ease of use and customization.
