How to remove window pelmet?

[EllieBee]

 I am wanting to remove these pelmets as I want to install plantation shutters. I can’t see any screws or nails, so I don’t know where to start. Thanks!

I picked up a Ryobi multitool today and it is definitely helping to remove/smooth out all the cornice cement and adhesive on the pelmet. It isn’t perfect, and it is messy work, but requires 90% less effort than scraping it off. 

I have had to stop frequently because the tool is getting hot and sometimes the blade gets stuck, but I would 100% recommend anyone try using the multitool!! I can’t decide whether buying the SDS hammer tool or the multitool has been my best purchase in all my renovation projects

Yes, they are more versatile and useful than they first appear to be. I bought a very cheap one at first, thinking I'd hardly use it... when it died from too much work, I bought a better one. Glad to know that you've been able to quickly move on with the project. It's looking good so far ...
