Tool lanyards must never be used for Fall Protection of any kind.
DANGER:
Crush, cut or entanglement hazard. Do no use near moving parts, mechanisms
DANGER:
or running machinery.
WARNING:
Do not use with power tools.
Keep out of the reach of children.
WARNING:
When using tool lanyards and
accessories, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1) PERSONAL SAFETY
a ) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating any tool. Do
not use any tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while using any tool may
result in serious injury.
b ) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all the times. This enables better control of any tool
use in unexpected situations.
d ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair

can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover
moving parts and should also be avoided.
e ) Do not attach lanyard around your wrist or to a
pant belt loop.
f ) Make sure the carabiner lock (or cinch cord lock) is
engaged and properly secure prior to use.
g ) Inspect before each use as instructed in this manual.
h ) Do not alter or use in a manner other than as
instructed in this manual.
i ) Only attach metal D-ring to a lanyard carabiner
or cinch cord end. Do not attach by looping or
knotting the lanyard. Do not attach lanyard
directly to the sleeve or tape measure.
j ) Dropped tools will swing on the tool lanyard, which
could cause injury or loss of balance.
k ) Only transfer the tool to and from your wrist while
the tool is secured in a pouch and you are properly
balanced in a stable orientation.
l ) Do not attach lanyards to tool in a way that keeps
guards, switches or lock-offs from operating
properly.
2) WORK AREA SAFETY
a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b ) Keep children and bystanders away while
working. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
c ) Very often, the consequences of a falling
object are underestimated: dropping a work tool
also means the risk of destroying the tool, and the
possible damage of property can also have serious
consequences in terms of costs, as well as the lost time
required by the worker to leave their work station to
recover the tool. The D

while working at height.
d ) Do not use tool lanyard to get additional leverage
from the tool.
e ) Do not carry objects by the tool lanyard.

bases and oxidizing agents).
g ) Do not use with power tools.
h ) Do not extend length of tool lanyard with another
tool lanyard, string or rope, etc.
i ) Electrical shock hazard. Be sure power is off when
working in high voltage areas. Some components of
the tool tethering system are conductive.
