AIR CLEARANCE
Before using a cable drum, check for a minimum space clearance below the user’s feet as necessary, to prevent
any collision with the structure or the ground.
With a weight of 100 kg in a normal use (cable drum above the head), the air clearance D is the stopping distance
H + an additional distance A + 1M. A is function of the length of cable out L and the angle
α
formed by the cable
(or D, H, A and L in m and α in °) (Picture 3) (except in special cases - see specific manual).
ANCHORAGE POINT :
If possible, to be used with achorage devices (conformed to the EN 795 standard) or structural anchor. that is to
say elements fixed to last, to a structure (wall, post…).

•is situated above the operator (Picture 1.7)
•vertical to the work surface : (angle maxi ±30°).
•Suits at best the anchoring system
