are
applications
for
which
your

is
specifically
suited.
This
list
is
not
all
‐
inclusive,
but
is
intended
to
anticipate
the
most
common
applications
in
which
this
product
may
be
used.
If
you
have
questions
about

Sling
Anchors
come
in
various
lengths
in
order
to
put
the
attachment
point
within
proximity
of
the
user
and
the
walking/working
surface.
Be
sure
to
rig
your
sling
anchor
so
that
Free
Fall
is
limited
to
6’
(six
feet)
or
less.
The
length
of
some
Sling
Anchors
is
such
that
it
may
also
contribute
to
Swing
Fall.
See
Section
2.10
of
this
manual
for
additional
details,
and
be
sure
to
rig
your
Sling
Anchor
so
as
to
avoid
this
hazard.
Be
sure
to
consult
Section
5
of
this
instruction
manual
for
details
on
anchorage
considerations,
as
the
anchorage
and
its
relationship
to
the
walking/working
surface
will
be
an
important
factor
in
determining
suitability
and
could
contribute
to
the
outcome
of
a
fall
event.
Use
of
an
anchor
point
that
is
not
properly
rated
could
lead
to
a
catastrophic
failure
of
your
personal
fall
arrest
system,
which
may
result
in
serious
injury
or
death.
