•
Avoid any rubbing against abrasive or sharp
•
when affected by water or ice, the harness
becomes much more sensitive to abrasion: re-
check your precautions.
•
Temperature of storage or use must not
exceed 80°C. The melting point of polyamide
is 230°C.
•
Before and during use, the possibility of
rescue in case of difficulty must be considered.
•
The user must make sure his health con-
dition does not affect his security while using
this material.
•
Make sure the amount of free space around
the working place and specifically below the
user is sufficient for the user’s safety.
