Liability (Complementing Point Caution); Product-Specific Safety Instructions - A.HABERKORN Tree Austria PRO Instrucciones De Uso

When different materials are used in one product, the period of use is subject to the most sensitive materials.
Extreme conditions of use can cause the elimination of a product after only using once (type and intensity of use, field of application,
aggressive environment, sharp edges, extreme temperatures, chemical substances etc.).
A PFPE must definitely be discarded:
• in case of damage to supporting parts, which are essential for safety, such as webbings and seams (tears, cuts or other)
• in case of damage to plastic and/or metal fittings
• in case of strain by a fall or heavy load
• after the application period has elapsed
• if a product does not seem safe or reliable anymore
• if the product is outdated and does not comply with the technical standards anymore (modification of legal regulations,
norms and technical rules, incompatibility with other equipment etc.)
• if the history of use is unknown or incomplete (test manual)
• if the identification of the product does not exist or if it is illegible or missing (even partly)
• if the instructions for use/test manual of the product are missing (because product history cannot be tracked!)
• See also item: 2) Regulations for the owner of the equipment
If the visual inspection carried out by the user, holder of the equipment or the competent person results in complaint or if the PPE
has elapsed, it has to be discarded. The elimination has to be made in such a way that reuse in action can absolutely be excluded
(e.g. by cutting and disposing of belts, fittings etc.).
In case of frequent use, intensive wear or extreme environmental influences, the allowed period of use becomes shorter. The decision
on the operational capability of the device is up to the responsible COMPETENT PERSON within the prescribed periodic inspection.
