Roller sunblind reversing feature
The roller sunblind is equipped with an auto-
matic reversing feature. If a solid object
blocks or restricts the roller sunblind during
the closing process, the roller sunblind opens
again automatically. However, the automatic
reversing feature is only an aid and does not
relieve you of the responsibility of paying
attention when closing the roller sunblind.
GWARNING
The reversing feature does not react:
Rto soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
Rwhen closing the roller sunblind again man-
ually immediately after automatic reversal
This means that the reversing feature cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
When closing the roller sunblind, make sure
that no body parts are in the sweep area.
If somebody becomes trapped:
Rrelease the switch immediately, or
Rpress the switch in any direction during the
