1 - USE
The MICRO-CYLINDRE 2.1 is a friction device for rigging ropes used for tree care work. It is used when tree felling, to hold and lower cut branches or logs.
It attaches to the base of the tree to be felled, or to any tree able to resist the stress and shock produced during moving of loads.
• This device must be fixed only on a tree trunk.
• The equipment used with it (ropes, carabiners, mechanical adjusters, etc.) must have compatible size and resistance properties to the rope loads.
This system must be used:
• By trained and/or competent people,
• In respect of the manufacturer's and/or seller's recommendations,
• Only after having read and understood these instructions.
Caution: Ropes soiled by dirt, sand, oil, etc., can cause a higher risk of wear to the bollard and lower its performance.
WARNING
ONLY FOR TREE CARE WORK.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THIS EQUIPMENT BE USED FOR BELAYING.
