The speed of the descent is regulated with one hand on the handle and the other hand
holding the line below the device. Start with the line at an angle out of the slot. With the
descender upside down, the descent starts by pulling the handle upwards
Fig.7 , and
stops when moving the handle downwards or by releasing it. Increase or decrease
friction by moving the line into the narrow part of the slot or away as shown in
Fig.3:B
and 3:C . It is important to always keep one hand on the line below the device to have
better control of the descent

Ensure that the descent is not in conflict with moveable machinery, obstacles or live
cable. The line must not lie over sharp edges.
