
Never block the winding out of
the cable, strap.

The cable or the strap must
always be tensed. In case of "slack",
the equipment must be checked
by the manufacturer.

Lateral movements mustn't
exceed one third of the distance
ground / working surface.

Make your movements on a
normal walking speed. Accelera-
tions, climbs and others engage
the clamping system of the

This equipment is designed for a ver-
tical use. If your cable drum has been
designed for a special use (horizon-
tal or inclined) you must follow the
recommendations of the additional
specific instruction.
AIR CLEARANCE
Before using a cable drum, check for
a minimum space clearance below
the user's feet as necessary, to prevent
any collision with the structure or the
ground.
With a weight of 100 kg in a normal
use (cable drum above the head), the
air clearance D is the stopping dis-
tance H + an additional distance A +
1M. A is function of the length of cable
out L and the angle α formed by the
cable (or D, H, A and L in m and α in °)
(Picture 3) (except in special cases -
see specific manual).
ANCHORAGE POINT :
Choose, if possible, an anchorage
point (except in special cases - see
specific manual) that conforms to the
standard EN 795: that is to say ele-
ments fixed to last, to a structure (wall,
post...).
Check that the anchorage point :

has a resistance superior to 10 KN
(Picture 1.10)

is situated above the operator
(Picture 1.7)

vertical to the work surface :
(angle maxi ±30°).

Suits at best the anchoring
system

Does not present sharp edge.
CARABINER
Connector is compliant with standard
EN 362

When the carabiner is used for
attachment to an anchorage point,
check for compliance with the
recommendations of the "ANCHO-
RAGE POINT" paragraph ;
8
AT THE MOMENT OF CONNECTION
TO THE CARABINER, CHECK
THAT THE LOCKING SYSTEM IS
CORRECTLY IN PLACE
ATTENTION
The carabiner is an essential element
for your safety. We therefore recom-
mend that you:

attribute the connector to
one person in particular, where
possible;

check the carabiner before each
use in order to safeguard against
any distortion, any sign of use and
to verify the good functioning of
the locking system. (Picture 4)

do not attach and remove it seve-
ral times during the same working
day, if it has a manual lock
IN THE SAME WAY, IF THE
CARABINER HAS BEEN USED TO
STOP A FALL, IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR
SAFETY REASONS TO RETURN IT
FOR CHECKS .
