WARNINGS: ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE READ AND UNDERSTOOD BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS INJURY, OR DEATH.
Squids® Split Rings are designed to be retrofit tool attachments to create tethering connection points on tools that don't have
adequately sized connection points to begin with.
Unless otherwise noted the Squids® Split rings are rated for tools weighing no more than 2lbs // 0.9kg and are intended to be
installed into smaller captive connection points that already exist on the tool.
• Do not use Tool Attachments in temperatures below -40°F / -40°C or above 150°F / 65°C.
• Never exceed the allowable capacity for any tethering system component. Refer to individual component's label. Your
tethering system is only as strong as your weakest link.
• Tool and lanyards are for tool use only. They are not for human support, nor are they intended to be part of a human fall
protection system.
• For tools weighing more than 5lbs / 2.26kg, do not tether such tools to the human body, unless specifically authorized per
the product instructions.
• Always inspect tool lanyards and all parts of your tethering system prior to, and after, each use (refer to inspection steps).
• Never modify or alter tool attachments.
• Never modify a tool or primary anchoring location that could result in manufacturer guideline deviation.
• Do not use this product if it interferes with the tool's safe working condition, or the anchoring location—including personal
fall protection.
• Use extra precaution around moving machinery or parts, electrical hazards, chemical hazards or other apparent hazards.
• Never attach a tool with a Squids® Tool Attachment to a lanyard that is longer than the Maximum Lanyard Length indicated
on the product label of the attachment.
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment when installing or using tethering systems.
SPLIT RING INSTALLATION
• Weigh the tool to be retrofitted with the split ring and ensure it does not exceed 2lbs // 0.9kg and make sure the
attachment area is clean and dry before application.
• For easier installation use a split ring pliers or other pliers to help pry the split ring open.

After use, clean the Split Rings and connected tool or equipment to remove dirt, corrosives or contaminants.

that it will operate effectively and to extend its service life.
INSPECTION
Inspect your tethering system before and after each use. All equipment should be regularly inspected by a competent person.
Ensure the tethering system is properly attached to the tool and is not damaged. Before each use, check the following:
• Examine all hardware for rust or corrosion, abnormal distortion (twists, bends), cracks or breaks, or any other damage.
• Examine markings on the product and labels for legibility.
• Inspect the other products (lanyards, anchor attachments, etc.) appropriately in accordance with their instructions.
• If any part of the tethering system has knowingly been involved in a drop, it must immediately be taken out of service and
replaced. If any tethering system component fails any part of an inspection, discard and replace the product immediately.
