SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
WARNING: READ ALL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE TWO INSTRUCTIONS:
GENERAL AND SPECIFIC.
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
These equipments are personal protective equipment (PPE) used for fall
protection, shall only be used by a person trained and competent in its safe
use and a rescue plan shall be in place to deal with any emergencies that
could arise during the work. WARNING: Medical conditions could affect the
safety of the equipment user in normal and; emergency use. These equipments
needs a regular periodic examinations, and that the safety of users depends
upon the continued efficiency and durability of the equipment. The periodic
examinations are only to be conducted by a competent person for periodic
examination and strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s periodic
examination procedures.
ATTENTION: A pre-use check by the user may not be applicable in the case
of certain parts of equipment for emergency use which have been pre-packed or
sealed by a competent person. These equipment require the pre-use check and if
any components has indication for damage such as corrosion, deformation, seams
rupture or others visual defect must be considered inapt to use until the
competent person validation. Warning: it is essential for safety to verify the
free space required beneath at the workplace before each occasion of use, so
that, in the case of a fall, there will be no collision with the ground or
other obstacle in the fall path.lt is essential for safety that equipment is
withdrawn from use immediately should: any doubts arise about its condition
for safe use or; it has been used to arrest a fall. The recommendation in
regard to the frequency of periodic examinations, taking account of such
factors as legislation, equipment type, frequency of use, and environmental
conditions. The periodic examination frequency shall be at least every 12
months. Attention: if a complete system is supplied, that components of any
complete system shall not be substituted. Attention with the limitations of
the materials; the temperature, the effect of sharp edges, chemical reagents,
electrical conductivity, cutting, abrasion, UV degradation, and other climatic
conditions may affect its equipment performance. Making any alterations or
additions to the equipment without the manufacturer’s prior written consent,
and that any repair shall only be carried out in accordance with
manufacturer’s procedures. The equipment shall not be used outside its
limitations, or for any purpose other than that for which it is intended. Any
dangers that may arise by the use of combinations of items of equipment in
which the safe function of any one item is affected by or interferes with the
safe function of another. WARNINGS: It is essential for the safety of the user
that if the product is re-sold outside the original country of destination the
reseller shall provide instructions for use, for maintenance, for periodic
examination and for repair in the language of the country in which the product
is to be used. You can find this instruction in our website www.fallsafe-
online.com.
HOW TO USE:
Connect the karabiner (EN362) to be held in the major axis positioning and
protects the end of the lanyard from wear; clip a locking karabiner (auto
locking preferred) through the attachment point (A or 1/2 A+ 1/2 A); make sure
that the line is taut; attach the anchor line to a secure anchor point EN795;
make sure that the rope grab is at the user shoulders level and not under it.
Always check the legibility of the product markings. The equipment becomes
wet, either from being in use or when due to cleaning, it shall be allowed to
dry naturally, and shall be kept away from direct heat Verify that this
product is compatible with other elements of the system in your application
(compatible = good functional interaction). Other types of edges are not
allowed and use is prohibited.To be used in horizontal condition, the
anchorage point must be located at the same level as the edge, where the risk
of fall exists. In order to avoid pendulum effects, the working area must not
exceed a 30° angle limit, from each side of the vertical of the anchorage
point. IMPORTANT: Despite this test, the following must be observed for all
cases during horizontal or sloping use where there is a risk of falling over
an edge:
-
If the hazard evaluation performed before commencing work reveals that the fall edge involves particularly “sharp cutting” and / or “burred” edge (e.g. uncovered parapet walls or sharp concrete edge and if devices with fasteners made from webbings are to be used:
– Corresponding precautions must be taken so that a fall over the edge is precluded, or – An edge protection must be mounted before commencing work, or
– The manufacturer must be contacted -
The suspension point of the fall arrester must not be below the standing area (e.g. platform, flat roof) of the user. (picture 3)
-
The deflection at the edge (measured between the two flanges of the joints and fastenings) must be at least 90°.
-
The required headroom below the edge is depicted in picture 5.
-
In order to prevent a swinging fall, the work area or side movements from the centre axis must be restricted to max. 1.50m. In other cases, no individual anchorage points, but insteadg. stopping devices of class C (only if approved for joint use) or D as per EN795 must be used.
-
Note: When using the fall arrester on a stopping device of class C corresponding to EN795 with a horizontally moving guide, the deflection of the stopping device must also be taken into consideration when ascertaining the required clearance height below the user. The information in the instructions for use must be observed for this.
-
Note: In the case of fall over an edge, there is a risk of injury during the catching process as a result of the falling person hitting building parts or structural parts.
-
Special measures for rescuing must be specified and practiced for the event of a fall over the edge.
-
Note: Fall arrest devices identified with picture “A”, “B”, “C” and “D” are not suited for fall impacts over unprotected edges (e.g. retractable Dyneema or Stainless steel rope lanyards).
