• The equipment shall only be used by a person trained and competent in its safe use.
• A rescue plan shall be in place to deal with any emergencies that could arise during work.
• Do not make any alterations or additions to the equipment without the manufacturer's prior written consent.
• The equipment should not be used outside its limitation, or for any purpose other than that for which it is intended.
• The product should be a personal property of its user.
• Ensure the compatibility of items of equipment when assembled into a system.
• It is important to check before use for any dangers that may arise by the use of combinations of equipment in which the
safe function of any one item is affected by or interferes with the safe function of another.
• Carry out a pre-use check of the product, to ensure that it is in a serviceable condition & operates correctly before it is
used.
• Withdraw from use any equipment where there is any doubt about its condition for safe use or if it has been used to
arrest a fall. Do not use again until it is confirmed by a competent person.
• Ensure that the anchor device is strong enough & has a minimum strength of 12kN for metal & 18kN for textile and the
anchor point will preferably be situated above the user's head.
• It is advisable to use the dorsal attachment D-Ring of the harness for connection to the Self Retracting Lifeline.
However if it is not possible for any reason, the chest attachment element may also be used.
• When intended to be used in a fall arrest systems, it is essential for safety that the anchor device or anchor point
should always be positioned and the work carried out in such a way as to minimise both the pendulum and the
potential fall distance. When the fall arrest system must be placed above the position of the user, the manufacturer
shall make a statement to that effect.
• When intended to be used in fall arrest systems, it is essential for safety to verify the free space required beneath the
user at the workplace before each use, so that in case of a fall there will be no collision with the ground or other
obstacle in the fall path. It should be min. 4 meters below the feet of the user with this product.
• Be aware of hazards that may affect the performance or cause failure of the equipment, such as:
• extreme temperatures (below -15°C and above +50°C)
• aggressive environmental conditions including sand & grit, cement, hot surfaces, naked flames, welding
splatter, sparks, electrical conductivity
• contact with: sharp edges, abrasive surfaces, chemicals
• Immediately stop using the product if it is exposed to any of the above or is damaged in any way until it has been
inspected by a competent person.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (SHARP EDGE USE)
• It is possible to use a horizontal Self Retracting Lifeline over an edge type A
• It is recommended to avoid the loading of the Self Retracting Lifeline over edges.
• The Self Retracting Lifeline was tested also for horizontal use and a drop over a Type A edge has been
successfully tested.
• Type A edge definition: A steel edge with a radius of r = 0.5 mm and without burrs was used for the test. Due to this
test, the equipment may be used over similar edges, as can be found e.g. at rolled steel profiles, at wooden beams or
at a clad, rounded roof parapet. However, the following shall be considered when the equipment is used in a horizontal
or transverse arrangement and a risk of a fall from a height over an edge exists:
