1. The webbing lifeline should only be recoiled under tension. On no account should you fully pull out and
release the lifeline, as the jolting impact of the small connector on the device can cause the return spring
to break.
2. The webbing lifeline of this device may only be cleaned with soapsuds and a sponge, on no account use
a solvent.
3. Fall arrestors must be stored in a dry location free of dust and oil, if possible in the packaging supplied.
4. Textile elements which have become wet during cleaning or use may only be left to dry naturally, i.e. not
in the vicinity of fire or heat sources.
5. This device must be checked by an approved service agent every 12 months. The effectiveness and
durability of the height safety device depends on regular inspection and maintenance by an approved
service agent.
Note: The HWDB2 fall arrestor has been successfully tested for horizontal use, for a fall over a leading edge.
The test was carried out in accordance with the requirements of CNB 11-060:2008 Edge Type A Test, as
approved by VG11 against Directive 89/686/EEC. The edge used on this test is a smooth steel edge with a
radius of 0.5 mm was used for HWDB2 which has a lifeline made from webbing. On the basis of this test, the
fall arrestor is deemed suitable for use over similar edges, for example on rolled steel profiles, wooden
beams or on a paneled, rounded parapet wall.
Despite this test, the following must be observed and taken into consideration for horizontal or inclined use
where there is a risk of falling over an edge:
1. If the hazard evaluation and risk assessment performed before commencing the work reveals that any
potential fall edge involves a particularly "sharp cutting" and/or "burred" profile (e.g. uncovered parapet
wall; sharp metal edge; concrete edge – this list is not exhaustive) due to this device having a webbing
lifeline, the following will always apply:
- Additional precautions must be taken before starting the work to ensure that a fall over the
edge is prevented; or
- Suitable edge protection must be fitted before starting the work; or
- The manufacturer must be contacted before commencing the work.
2. The anchorage point of the fall arrestor must not be positioned below the standing area of the user (e.g.
platform, flat roof) – i.e. the device must not be positioned below the feet of the user.
3. The internal angle of the edge measured between the two faces must be at least 90°.
4. The free space below the edge must be at least 3.8 m.
5. In order to prevent a pendulum fall, the work area or side movements from the center line (i.e. the
anchorage point) must be restricted to a maximum of 1.50 m in either direction. Where horizontal
movement greater than 1.50m is required, horizontal anchorage devices approved to EN795 class C or
class D must be used.
6. Note: When using the fall arrestor secured to an EN795 class C (Horizontal Flexible Anchor Line) the
deflection of the anchor line must also be taken into account when determining the necessary free space
below the user. The data in the instructions on how to use the anchor line must be observed for this.
7. Note: In the case of a fall over the edge, there is a risk of injury during the arrest phase due to the falling
person impacting against parts of the structure or building.
8. Special rescue measures must be specified and practiced in case a fall over the edge should occur.
