4. Installatie en installatie

1. Inspecteer de eenheid: Before each use, thoroughly inspect the retractable lifeline for any signs of damage, wear, cuts, fraying, corrosion, or deformation. Check the housing, webbing, snap hook, and carabiner. Ensure the fall indicator is not deployed.
2. Select Anchorage Point: Identify a suitable anchorage point that is structurally sound and capable of supporting 5,000 lbs (22.2 kN) per worker attached, or meets the criteria of a qualified person. The anchorage point should be located directly above the work area to minimize swing fall.
3. Attach to Anchorage: Use the included steel carabiner to securely attach the swivel-top of the retractable lifeline to the selected anchorage point. Ensure the carabiner gate is fully closed and locked.
4. Aansluiten op harnas: Attach the forged steel snap hook at the end of the webbing lifeline to the dorsal D-ring of your full-body harness. Ensure the snap hook gate is fully closed and locked.
5. Controleer verbindingen: Double-check all connections to ensure they are secure and properly engaged.

5. Gebruiksaanwijzing

The SafeWaze FS-FSP1411-W retractable lifeline allows for freedom of movement while providing continuous fall protection.

• Beweging: De webbing will extend and retract automatically as you move, maintaining tension.
• Remactie: In the event of a fall, the internal braking system will engage rapidly, arresting the fall and minimizing the fall distance. A slight tug on the lifeline should cause the braking mechanism to engage momentarily, confirming its function.
• Post-Fall: If a fall occurs, the unit must be immediately removed from service. The sewn-in fall indicator will deploy, providing a clear visual signal that the unit has been subjected to fall forces. Do not use the unit again after a fall.
