USE AND PRECAUTIONS
A retractable fall arrester is a piece of personal protection equipment; it should be allocated to a single user (it can only be used by one person
at a time). When the user moves (up or down), the webbing winds onto and unwinds from a pulley. The webbing is kept taut by means of
a return spring. In the event of a fall, a system locks the webbing and prevents it unwinding, thus stopping the fall instantly. The energy
absorbeur, which is on the main strap, tears to absorb the energy of the fall.
The minimum free space should be: 2,5 m under the user's feet*.

Clearance of the PPE
* It is essential for safety reason to verify the clearance at the work place before each use and during use in
order to be sure there will be no collision with the ground or obstacle in case of fall. Take particular attention
to obstacle in movement (for example truck, mobile work platform, ...).
User safety relies on the effectiveness of the equipment and full understanding of the safety instructions
contained in this leaflet.
Product markings should be checked periodically for legibility.
The swivel is linked to an anchor point by a connector (EN362) and the other end (webbing) is attached onto
a safety point on a harness.
Sharp edges, small diameter structures and corrosion should be avoided as they may affect the performance
of the webbing ; or they should be adequately protected.
The device's anchoring point must be positioned above the user) and must comply with standard EN795
(R>12kN - EN795:2012 or R>10kN - EN795:1996).
The retractable fall arrest device Voras F2 is certified for use above the anchorage point (Factor 2 for
1.8m max).
WARNING! In this case the necessary clearance is: 4.5 m under the user's feet.
The maximum angle of use is 40 °. This device must not be used in a horizontal position.
For use in a temperature range between: - 30°C / 50°C.
Ensure that the general arrangement limits swinging in the event of a fall, and that the work is done in such a
way as to limit the risk and the height of a fall. For safety reasons and before each use, make sure that in the event of a fall there is no obstacle
obstructing the normal deployment of the strap.
We also recommend that you do not suddenly let go of the webbing when it is rolled out; it is better to keep a hand on it as it reels into the
retractable fall arrest.
Before and during use, we recommend that you take all the necessary precautions for a safe rescue should it be needed.
This equipment is for the sole use of people trained, skilled and in good health, or under the supervision of a trained and skilled person. Warning! Certain
medical conditions may affect user safety; if in doubt, consult your doctor.
Be aware of the hazards that could reduce the performance of your equipment, and therefore the user's safety, if exposed to extreme temperatures (<
-30°C or > 50°C), prolonged exposure to the elements (UV rays, humidity), chemical agents, electrical constraints, twisting of the fall arrest system
during use, sharp edges, friction or cutting, etc.
Before using, always check that the locking system is in working order and that the fall indicator is not triggered. Check that all the rivets are well
crimped on the swivel part and on the connector part: there must not be any lateral movement. Check that the absorber has not been activated. Check
that the metal parts are not deformed or oxidized, and check that the connectors are working properly (locking/opening). The protective casings must
be in place and undamaged. Product markings must remain legible. If there is any doubt as to the condition of the device, or after a fall, it must not be
reused (marking it with the words "DO NOT USE" is recommended) and must be returned to the manufacturer or to a qualified person appointed by
the manufacturer.
Do not remove, add or replace any component of the product.
