This notice must be translated (possibly by the retailer) into the language of the country of use.

For your safety, comply strictly with the instructions for use, verification, maintenance and storage.

BERNER cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect accident occurring as a result of use other than provided for in this notice; do not use this equipment beyond its

capabilities!

USE AND PRECAUTIONS

The webbing temporary lifeline BERNER is a temporary anchorage device, transportable, and conforms to the standard EN 795 class B and to the regulation (UE) 2016/425,

it should be allocated to a single user. BERNER certifies that this class B anchorage device has been submitted to tests according to the standard NF EN 795.

This temporary lifeline has been designed to ensure the user safety everywhere the fall risk exists. The user safety depends on the constant efficiency of the equipment and

the good understanding of this notice. Readability of the product label has to be verified periodically.

Minimum breaking strength of the anchor points: 15 kN.

Installation:

Before the installation, this is essential to consider the deflection (F) of the lifeline in case of fall (see picture 1), the table below is given as an example:

It is essential for safety reason to verify the clearance at the work place before each use and during use in order to be sure there will be no collision with the ground or

obstacle in case of fall.

When choosing the installation place, you should check that the equipment cannot be damaged by: sharp edges, frictions, heat source...

Never connect two lifelines one to another if they are not connected on a reliable anchorage point.

Connect the end as explained above taking care not to twist the straps. The lifeline has to be positioned horizontally with a maximum slope of 15°. To make the tension :

manually draw the dead end of the strap, tender it inside the ratchet, to put in tension the strap by declutching the brake valve of the tensioner to release the handle ratchet,

activate the handle ratchet by performing at least two rounds so that the strap overlaps correctly.

When the tension is finished, you should reposition the brake valve; this operation blocks the handle ratchet.

Before to put into service, ensure that the ratchet is locked in blocking position.

Removal:

To take off the lifeline, declutch the valve brake of the tensioner to release the handle ratchet. Draw the dead end of the strap to make a deflection. Disconnect both ends.

Put correctly the strap away in its bag.

This equipment can be used jointly by two people at the same time (test report SATRA-SPC0158359/0747/NW Issue 2).

For safety reasons, before each use be sure that there is no obstacle for the progress of the fall arrest system connected to an anchorage point. Check that the general

disposition limits the pendulum effect in case of a fall and that the work is done so as to limit the risk of fall and the height of fall.

This equipment must be used only by trained, competent and healthy people, or under the supervision of a trained and competent person.

Be careful!

Some medical conditions can affect the user safety, in case of doubt you should contact your doctor.

Be aware of the hazards that could reduce the performance of your equipment, and therefore the user’s safety, if exposed to extreme temperatures (< -30°C or > 50°C),

prolonged exposure to the elements (UV rays, humidity), chemical agents, electrical constraints, twisting of the fall arrest system during use, sharp edges, friction or cutting,

etc.

Before and during the use, we recommend you to take the necessary dispositions for a possible safe rescue.

Before each use, check the device condition and especially the end thimbles and the straps (see if there is no cut) and check that the ratchet is not deteriorated. Check also

that there are no traces of oxidation or deformation. Product markings must remain legible.

If there is a doubt about the condition of the device, the lifeline must be withdrawn from service and/or must be returned to the manufacturer or a competent person appointed

by him. After a fall the product must not be reused and withdrawn from use (see section VERIFICATION PROCEDURE).

Pay attention to structures with small diameters and corrosion because they can affect the performance of the device.

It is forbidden to add, remove or substitute a component of the device.

Chemicals: put the device out of service in case of contact with chemical, solvent or combustible products that could affect the functioning.

SUITABILITY FOR USE:

The equipment should be used with a fall arrest system as specified in the data sheet (see standard EN363) to guarantee that the dynamic force exerted on the user during the

arrest of a fall is maxi 6 kN. A fall arrest harness (EN361) is the only body gripping device that may be used. It may be dangerous to create one’s own fall arrest system where

each safety function can interfere with another safety function. Therefore, it is important to read the recommendations on using each component in the system before use.

VERIFICATION:

The recommended service life of the equipment is 10 years (in accordance with the annual examination by a competent person authorized by BERNER), but it may be

increased or reduced according to use and/or the results of the annual inspections. The equipment should be inspected if there is any doubt, or following a fall and at least

annually, by the manufacturer or a competent person authorised by the manufacturer to check its strength and hence the user’s safety.

The product data sheet should be completed (by writing) after each verification; date of inspection and date of next inspection must be indicated on the data sheet, it is also

recommended to put date of next inspection on the product.

SERVICING AND STORAGE;

(Comply strictly with these instructions)

During transport, keep the product in its packaging, well away from any cutting surface; clean it with water, wipe it with a rag and hang it up in a well-ventilated location, to

let it dry naturally and away from a naked flame or heat source; follow the same procedure for components that have become damp during use. The system must be stored

in its packaging in a dry, well aired place protected from extremes of temperature.
