Thank you for choosing VERTIQUAL®! You have purchased a high quality product that will reliably protect you and will be your companion for a long time when work-
ing at heights and depths.
This manual must be read and understood before using the product! This product will be used with other equipment (components) thus forming a system for working at
heights. Please refer to the instruction manual of each component in your system for compatibility and correct use! Following these instructions accordingly is essential
for your safety. Failure to do so can result in serious or even fatal accidents! Keep these instructions together with the product, accessible to all users, so they can consult

WARNING!
These instructions are a basic comprehensive guide to the safe use of the purchased equipment. They contain general information about the product, intended to help
the user, but cannot cover all the situations that may occur in the daily activities and cannot in any case replace the specialized training courses for safety at heights. This
PPE against falls from heights can only be used by well-trained users, who are familiar with the relevant legislation and who have successfully completed a special safety
training course for working at heights.
WARNING!
For works with risk of falling from heights or in depths, a risk assessment must be carried out in advance in accordance with current regulations and legal provisions (EN
standards or specific national rules) that will provide adequate measures for safety and rescue!
WARNING!
Instructions for use are updated when technical or legislative changes occur. The latest version of the instructions overwrites previous versions and is the only valid

FIELD OF USE
Anchor slings are used to create temporary anchor points, in situations where the size and geometry of an anchor structure is not suitable for attaching a carabiner direct-
ly to it. These can be used also to create a secure access path when climbing structures and different types of ladders. Another application of the anchor slings is the
creation of multiple anchor points when building complex systems for working at heights and rescue. Along with other tested and certified components, the anchor slings
are used to create fall arrest systems. The purpose of this systems is to stop the free fall of the user, absorbing most of the shock and distributing the remaining force
evenly, while holding the users body in a proper position until he or she is rescued. The product must be used exclusively as a PPEaF (Personal Protective Equipment
against Fall), in usual environments with temperatures between -30
℃
and +50
℃
,
without potentially explosive atmospheres, far away from flames, sparks or hot metal
splash. Avoid contact with sharp edges, electricity, chemicals, corrosive solutions and substances, excessive heat, oils, paints or any other contaminants. The structures
used for anchoring have to meet the requirements of EN 795-2012, must have NO sharp edges and must be capable to withstand minimum 12 kN. The anchor point must
be located as high as possible above the user and as close as possible to the vertical axis of the user’s position, thus reducing the fall distance and prevent pendulum
accidents. The minimum free space below the user (fall clearance) must be ensured to prevent hitting the ground or any obstacles while the fall is arrested.
These products are approved for single person use!
