INSTALLATION
1. The FS870N is installed over and into a roof truss at the peak, or in the field of the roof
(See Figure 6, Dwg. 1 and Dwg. 3).
2. The work location should be free of debris, and other materials or equipment that could
interfere with the proper installation or operation of this equipment.
3. Inspect the substrate to which the anchor will be attached. User should inspect for the following
hazards. These hazards include, but are not limited to: rot, cracks, severe weathering, soft or
deteriorated areas in the sheathing, or damage from severe weather.
4. Installation of the FS870N requires that fasteners penetrate both the substrate and the truss.
Substrate must be a minimum of 3/4" CDX plywood. Fasteners must go through the sheathing and
penetrate the truss at least 1-1/2". Do not install or use the FS870N on either the truss or sheathing
independently. Installation must capture both the sheathing and truss. The FS870N must be installed a
minimum of 5' from any edge. NOTE: If the wood sheathing is of a thickness of 1-1/2" or greater, then
the FS870N can be installed into the sheathing only. ALL holes must be used.
5. To install with nails, position the anchor over previously secured roof sheathing (do not attach directly
the rafter or truss member). The roof anchor must be placed with the center holes lined up directly
over a framing member. Drive the nails through the center holes on both plates through the sheathing
and directly into framing member. To complete installation, additional nails must be installed in the
outer holes of each leg. Refer to Figure 7 which indicates all required holes filled to complete anchor
installation.
6. Ensure all required holes are filled and nails are fully installed. Installation on a wooden structure
restricts the users allowable work zone in relation to the anchor's location. Figure 8 indicates
the allowable load conditions for the FS870N. DO NOT attach a lifeline between two or more FS870N
anchors (i.e, Horizontal Lifeline System).
7. PFAS connecting device can now be connected to the FS870N.

PARALLEL INSTALLATION
1. The FS870S can be installed in a parallel or perpendicular orientation to a metal roof/decking.
2. The work location should be free of debris, and other materials or equipment that could
interfere with the proper installation or operation of this equipment. User must ensure minimum
substrate requirements are met. Minimum 22 gauge metal roofing/decking over minimum 16 gauge
Z-purlin.
3. Inspect the steel to which the anchor will be attached. User should inspect for the following hazards.
These hazards include, but are not limited to, excessive corrosion, cracks, severe rust, excessive
paint, or degradation due to intense heat or chemical exposure.
4. When installing the FS870S in a parallel configuration, the anchor must be installed to the crown of
the metal roof/decking. The FS870S MUST NOT be installed into the trough of the metal roof/decking.
The FS870S must be installed a miminum of 5' from any edge.
5. Install the (12) 2-1/2" Sheet Metal Screws in the center row of pre-drilled holes on each leg of the
anchor (6 screws per leg / See Figure 10, Dwg. 1).
6. The sheet metal screws must penetrate both the metal sheeting AND the purlin. Never install or use
anchor attached to the sheeting only, or to the purlin only. DO NOT attach a lifeline between two or
more FS870S anchors (i.e., Horizontal Lifeline System).
7. PFAS connecting device can now be connected to the FS870S.
8. When installed in this configuration, the FS870S can sustain loads in all directions.
PERPENDICULAR INSTALLATION
1. Follow Steps 1 through 3 as indicated in Parallel installation.
2. When installing the FS870S in a perpendicular configuration, the anchor must be installed to the
crown of the metal roof/decking. Wood support members must also be used. The support members
are placed in the trough(s) of the roof/decking. Place the FS870S perpendicularly across the crown(s)
of the decking and across wood support members (See Figure 10, Dwg. 2). The FS870S must be
installed a minimum of 5' from any edge.
3. Install the (12) 2-1/2" Sheet Metal Screws in the center row of pre-drilled holes on each leg of
the anchor (6 screws per leg / See Figure 10, Dwg. 2). Anchor should be placed to ensure the
screws pentrate both the metal sheeting AND the purlin, or are installed into the wood
support members (See Figure 10, Dwg 2). DO NOT attach a lifeline between two or more FS870S
anchors (i.e.
4. PFAS connecting device can now be connected to the FS870S.
5. When installed in this configuration, the FS870S can sustain loads in all directions.

self locking and self closing and must never be hooked to each other.
• A Competent Person must conduct an analysis of the workplace and anticipate where workers will be
conducting their duties, the route they will take to reach their work, and the existing and potential fall
hazards they may be exposed to. The Competent Person must choose the fall protection equipment
to be utilized.
• Do not misuse equipment.
• Equipment designated for fall protection must never be used to lift, hang, support or hoist tools or
equipment unless specifically certified for such use.
INSPECTION
• Safewaze Anchors shall be inspected prior to each use by the user, and at least annually by a
Competent Person other than the user. Annual inspections shall be documented. Severity of conditions
during use may necessitate increased frequency of documented inspections.
• Anchors that fail inspection MUST be removed from service.
• Prior to each use, inspect the anchor for deficiencies or damage, including, but not limited to, sharp
edges, rough edges, deformations, corrosion, pits, burrs, chemical exposure, extreme heat exposure,
kinked, bird nested, or otherwise damaged cable, and damaged, missing or illegible labels. If any
deficiencies or defects are found, the anchor must IMMEDIATELY be removed from service.
• The anchor must be inspected at least annually by a Competent Person other than the user.
Competent person inspections must be recorded in the inspection log included in this manual and
on the inspection grid label on the anchor.
