Direct attachment to the chain saw (check chain saw manufacturer recommendations)
(pic. 12-14/page 8)
Do not use both loops at a time! Minimum breaking strength of the link: 3 kN
Transfer of tools to/from the worker
(pic. 15-16/page 8)
Establish a suitable system for hauling/lowering the tool to the worker. With the lanyard cor-
rectly installed on the tool, attach Connectors 1 and 2 (connector 2 may be a ring depending
on the model) to the system. Raise or lower the tool to the worker in a controlled manner and
hold the tool in place, such that the load is held by the hauling system (Fig. 15/page 8). The
worker may then detach Connector 1 from the hauling system and connect it to an approved
attachment point on the harness (Fig. 16/page 8). Once securely attached, Connector 2 may
be detached from the hauling system and connected to, for instance, a non-PPE tool holder.
Working with the antishock tool lanyard
(pic. 17-19/page 9)
Never use this product if, as a result of your physical and/or mental condition, your safety in
normal (or emergency) scenarios might be compromised.
Modifications or additions to this product are not acceptable, unless performed by the manuf-
acturer.
The user must be aware that all energy dissipating functions of the antiSHOCK lanyard are dis-
abled if Connector 2 is directly attached to a fall protection system.
Check that your PPE system is suitable for the intended work. If there is potential for a fall, a
fall protection system must be used.
For work at height operations in trees, a work positioning system is frequently used. It shall
only be used if the system includes a suitable backup system for preventing or arresting a fall
(and the user is connected to it). A
second independent structural anchor point
is required
especially during cutting operations. This second anchor point is of high importance for proper
function of the antiSHOCK tool lanyard:
The reduced force shall be exerted to the user via the central attachment points on the front or
back of the harness. Attachment to two independent anchor points helps the user keep their
balance in the tree when performing tasks.
Prior to using it, this product must always be subject to a
visual inspection
in order to verify
its integrity, readiness for use and proper functioning. Check whether the fuse stitching has
been breached. In that case it must be withdrawn from service.
