Lanyard (tether strap) connection
Safety warnings specific for use at height
Read all safety warnings and instructions. F ailure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
serious injury.
1 . Always keep the tool tethered when working " at
height " . Maximum lanyard length is 2 m (6.5 ft).
2. Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool
type and rated for at least 4.0 kg (8.8 lbs).
3. Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on
your body or on movable components. Anchor
the tool lanyard to a rigid structure that can
withstand the forces of a dropped tool.
4 . Make sure the lanyard is properly secured at
each end prior to use.
5 . Inspect the tool and lanyard before each use
for damage and proper function (including
fabric and stitching). Do not use if damaged or
not functioning properly.
6 . Do not wrap lanyards around or allow them to
come in contact with sharp or rough edges.
7. Fasten the other end of the lanyard outside
the working area so that a falling tool is held
securely.
8 . Attach the lanyard so that the tool will move
away from the operator if it falls. D roppe d tools
will swing on the lanyard, which could cause injury
or loss o f balan c e.
9 . Do not use near moving parts or running
machinery. Failure to do so may result in a crush
or entanglement hazard.
1 0. Do not carry the tool by the attachment device
or the lanyard.
1 1 . Only transfer the tool between your hands
while you are properly balanced.
1 2. Do not attach lanyards to the tool in a way that
keeps guards, switches or lock-offs from oper-
ating properly.
1 3. Avoid getting tangled in the lanyard.
1 4 . Keep lanyard away from the cutting area of the tool.
1 5 . Use multi-action and screw gate type cara-
bineers. Do not use single action spring clip
