3. To be checked
Before each use, carry out the following checks :
If the product does not pass the inspection steps listed below perfectly, it must be
discarded or returned to the manufacturer for repair.
If the item shows any other sign of faulty mechanical functioning or any other malfunction
which may present a risk to the safety of its users, contact the manufacturer. Also check
that there are no cracks, deformations, signs of corrosion or of any other wear on the
connector or on the contact zone of the anchor.
For the connector Ø60, check if the 5 fasteners are present.
① Check It is impossible to unlock a connector without pressing the trigger.
② Check both connectors cannot be unlocked at the same time.
③ On P8/P9/P10 lanyards, Inspect the swivel in accordance with its owner's user
manual.
Always ensure the swivel is in good condition before and during use. Replace the swivel in
case of doubts about its condition, if it shows signs of wear or corrosion. Avoid contact
with heat sources, corrosive substances. In case of contact wash immediately with clean
water (between 15 and 20°C) then dry with a cloth. Verify the totality of the swivel and its
proper rotation. If any doubts persist, please contact SARL DEHONDT.
EN
All maintenance and inspection of the swivel must be reported on the following inspection
sheet. No lubrication is necessary under normal conditions of use. Verify the legibility of the
product's markings at each periodic inspection.
④ Open the shock absorber's protective cover and check that the tear webbing inside has not
been torn or damaged by abrasion, cuts, chemical substances or other causes.
4. Use
4.1 Connection
① Starting position connector open.
② Push the connector into its closed position on the anchor point.
4.2 Disconnection
① Press on the trigger.
② Remove the connector while pressing the trigger continuously.
4.3 Start an intervention
① Identify the open connector.
② Lock the open connector on the first anchor point.
③ Unlock manually the closed connector while pressing the trigger
④ Lock the open connector on the anchor point. Both connectors are now closed on the
anchor point.
4.4 End an intervention
① Both connectors are closed onto anchor points.
② Remove the connector while pressing the trigger.
③ Close the connector manually.
④ Remove the other connector while pressing the trigger continuously. Both connectors are
fully released .
5. Precaution for use and forbidden manoeuvres
① Don't twist the lanyard on purpose.
② Don'thook anything on the lanyard sheath, this coulddamage it.
③ Do not try to fit the connectors on the lanyard, the harness or any support other than an
anchor certified by the standard EN795.
④ Don't place yourhead between the lanyards. Risk of strangling in case of fall.
⑤ Don't bend the lanyard on purpose.
⑥ Do not use the lanyard as an anchor point.
⑦ Do not connect the connectors together.
⑧ Do not connect one connector to the handle of the other connector
⑨ Lanyard for work positioning P4 / P5
Installation on the harness : The (EN 795) anchor point must be located at or above waist level.
Do not use this equipment if there is a risk of a fall. The maximum acceptable fall distance is
0.5 m. It may be necessary to use a fall arrest system in addition to your work positioning
system.
⑩ Do not use any othermeans of cleaning or lubricating than those recommended by SARL
DEHONDT
⑪ Do not connect the lanyard to the harness by any othermeans than thatof the energy
absorber. Furthermore, adding any other connection removes the absorber's effect.
6. Clearance
The various components of the safety line must comply with European safety standards (CE)
and be used in full knowledge of their operating limitations.
Note that the clearance represents the minimum height below the anchor point required to
avoid a collision with the structure or the ground in the event of a fall. It includes the stopping
distance (Long Abs on the diagram) + a safety distance equal to 1.00m (long abs on fall factor
1 on P9 = 1,30m and P8= 1,20m).
Check the amount of free space available below the user in the work area before each use to
avoid any collision with the ground and ensure the absence of any obstacle in the event of a
fall.
If the equipment is to be used on a ridge and the risk assessment carried out before the start of
the works reveals that weight bearing is possible, safety precautions must be taken.
The user should reduce the amount of slack in the lanyard as much as possible in case of risk
of falling. Do not form a slip knot with the lanyard.
The unused end of a double lanyard connected to a shock absorber should not be attached to
the harness.
Keep in mind that a hazard is liable to arise and as a consequence vital for the safety of the
user, when he/she is using several articles in which the safety function of one of the articles is
affected by the safety function of another article or one interfering with this one.
It is a question of not using two lanyards each equipped with a shock absorber side by side
(that is, in parallel).
Prior to and during use, a rescue method should be established to carry out a possible rescue
operation effectively and safely. A rescue plan should be put in place in order for any
emergency likely to occur during the works to be dealt with.
For safety reasons the device or anchor point must always be correctly positioned and the work
must be carried out in such a way as to reduce the risk of falling and the height of the fall as
much as possible. The device or the anchor point must be positioned above the user. The
choice of device or the structure selected as (an) anchor point(s) must meet the minimal
resistance required for fitting the PPE (12 kN ).
To ensure user safety, if the item is resold outside the first country of destination, the seller
must provide the operating and maintenance instructions for periodical inspections as well as
the repair guide, written in the language of the country in which the item is to be used.
Warning
This item must only be used by staff who are medically fit to work at height and able to
participate in an emergency evacuation.
Before use, visually check that the lanyard has been correctly fitted onto the harness. Perform
a suspension test while being secured using a second safety line or in a safe place.
Works carried out at height are by nature dangerous. You are responsible for your actions and
for your decisions.. Before using this equipment you must :
• Read and understand all of the user instructions
• Specifically train yourself in the use of this equipment
• Familiarise yourself with your equipment and get to know its capacities and limitations
• Understand and accept the risks run
Any failure to follow these rules may result in serious or fatal injuries.
