SPECIFIC ANCHOR APPLICATIONS

WARNING
•
Users should consult with their doctor to verify ability to safely absorb the forces of a
fall arrest event. Fitness level, age, and other health conditions can greatly affect an
individuals ability to withstand fall arrest forces. Women who are pregnant, individuals
considered minors must not use any Safewaze equipment.
• Never alter any part of a lanyard or add/remove components. Safewaze shall not be
held responsible for injury or death due to tampering.
• Anchors that are exposed to fall arrest forces MUST be IMMEDIATELY removed
from service and destroyed.
• Failure to follow these instructions and warnings could result in serious injury or
death in the event of a fall.
• A preplanned rescue procedure in the event of a fall is required. The rescue plan
must be specific to the project. The rescue plan must allow for employees to rescue
themselves, or to be promptly rescued by alternative means.
• Harnesses or connectors selected for use with any Safewaze anchor must
compatible in size and configuration. User must ensure compatibility of snap hooks,
carabiners and other connectors. Any connection which could allow disengagement
must be eliminated. Snap hooks and carabiners must be 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.
•
Safewaze Anchors shall be inspected prior to each use by the user and at least an-
nually by a Competent Person. Annual inspections shall be documented. Severity of
conditions during use may neccesitate increased frequency of documented
inspections.
• Anchors that fail inspection MUST be removed from service.
• Prior to each use, inspect the FS886 for deficiencies or damage, including, but not
limited to, sharp edges, rough edges, deformations, corrosion, pits, burrs, chemical
exposure, extreme heat exposure, or improperly functioning springs. If any deficiencies
or defects are found, the FS886 must IMMEDIATELY be removed from service.
• The FS886 must be inspected at least every 6 months 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 FS886.
INSPECTION
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
WARRANTY
The FS886 can be cleaned with water and mild soap if necessary. User should remove
all dirt, possible corrosives, and contaminants from the anchor prior to and after each
use. Never use any type of corrosive substance to clean the FS886.
Hardware can be wiped off with a clean, dry cloth.
When not in use, store the FS886 in a cool dry area where it will not possibly be
exposed to extreme light, extreme heat, excessive moisture, or possibly corrosive
chemicals or materials.
Safewaze warrants its products are free from defects in materials and
construction under normal use and service. Liability is not accepted for abuse,
modification, improper use, destructive activity and contaminated exposure.
Personal Fall Arrest: The FS886 Anchor is designed as an anchor
point to support a maximum of 1 Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS)
when utilized for fall protection applications. The structure to which
the anchor is attached must withstand loads applied in the directions
permitted by the system of at least 5,000 lbs. Maximum allowable
free fall is 6’.
Restraint: The FS886 is authorized for use in Restraint applications.
The structure to which the anchor is attached must withstand loads
applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least 1,000
lbs. NO free fall is permitted. Restraint systems may only be used on
surfaces with slopes up to 4 / 12 (vertical / horizontal). For Restraint
applications, the allowable attachment points to harness are Dorsal
D-ring, Chest D-ring, Side D-rings, and Shoulder D-rings.

All above referenced applications have a worker weight capacity range of
310 lbs. (including all clothing, tools, and equipment).
1. To install the FS886, squeeze the handle together to open the top of the Manuclave
and slip the anchor connection point over the structure.
2. Rotate the handle which allows the anchor connection point of the anchor to position
itself around the structure.
3. Release the handle to allow the hooks to engage on each side of the anhcor.
4. Ensure that the FS886 is securely fastened by giving the anchor a few sharp pulls.
DO NOT
use the FS886 on structures that may be angled, or at the end of a structure
that may allow the FS886 to slide off the end of the structure.
DO NOT
use the FS886 where loading is offset from the center of the anchor.
NOTE:
The FS886 must be installed on a structure capable of meeting the anchorage
strength requirements of OSHA 29CFR 1910.66 and 1926.502.
Work Positioning: The FS886 is authorized for use in Work
Positioning applications. Work Positioning allows a worker to be
supported during suspension while freeing both hands to conduct
work operations. The structure to which the Beam Trolley is
attached must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted
by the system of at least 3,000 lbs. Maximum allowable free fall is
2’. For positioning applications, the allowable attachment points to
harness are the Side D-rings.
Rescue/Confined Space: The FS886 is authorized for use in Rescue/
Confined Space applications. Rescue systems are utilized to safely
recover a worker from a confined location or after exposure to a fall.
Composition of rescue systems can vary based upon the type of
rescue involved. The structure to which a Beam Trolley is attached
must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the
system of at least 3,000 lbs. NO free fall is permitted. For rescue
applications, the allowable attachment points to harness are Dorsal
D-ring, Chest D-ring and Shoulder D-rings.
