WARNING:
Contact Safewaze if you have questions regarding compatibility of this equipment that are not covered in this manual.
Do not alter or misuse this equipment. Some subsystem components could affect the performance of the operation of this equipment.
Do not anchor this product to moving machinery, hazards that include chemical, electrical or gaseous characteristics. Failure to comply
with this warning could result in injury or death.
WARNING:
Consult your doctor if there is reason to doubt your fitness to safely absorb the shock from a fall
arrest. Age and fitness seriously affect a worker’s ability to withstand falls. Pregnant women or minors must not
use Safewaze SRLs. Failure to heed this warning may result in serious injury or death.
5.0 USE
5.1 OPERATION
Inspect the SRL, as described in Section 8,
before using the equipment. Refer to Figure 10 for common system connections used with SRL applications.
Mount the SRL either to an approved anchor point. Ensure connections are compatible in size, shape, and strength. Ensure hooks are fully closed and
locked. When the worker is fully attached, the worker is then free to move about within the recommended working area. If a fall occurs, the SRL will
lock and arrest the fall. Upon rescue, remove the SRL from use. When working with an SRL, always allow the lifeline to retract back into the device in a
controlled manner. Do not release the unit to “free-spin” back into itself.
WARNING:
Do not tie or knot the lifeline. Avoid lifeline contact with sharp or abrasive surfaces. Inspect the lifeline frequently for
cuts, fraying, burns, or signs of chemical damage. Dirt, contaminants, and water can lower performance of the lifeline. Use caution
near power lines. Failure to comply with this warning may result in serious injury or death.

Using Table 9:
Table 9 provides the ability for the user to determine additional fall clearance requirements if a Swing Fall Hazard is present
when using the a Northstar Classic SRL in an overhead application. The Y-Axis represents the height the SRL is anchored
above the user’s Dorsal D-ring. The X-Axis represents lateral movement of the worker in relation to the SRL.
Example - Northstar Classic SRL Anchored Overhead:
This example represents the user anchored 30’ Overhead (Up along the Y Axis) and 14’ Laterally (Along the X Axis). The
intersection of these distances on the chart indicate an additional 3’ of fall clearance required. This additional required fall
clearance must be added to total fall clearance calculations.
