SPECIFIC ANCHOR APPLICATIONS

INSTALLATION

WARNING

 

    

   

•  

Users should consult with their doctor to verify ability to safely absorb the forces of a 

fall arrest event.  Fitness level, age, and other health conditions can greatly affect an 

individuals ability to withstand fall arrest forces. Women who are pregnant, individuals 

considered minors must not use any Safewaze equipment. 

•  Never alter any part of a lanyard or add/remove components.  Safewaze shall not be 

held responsible for injury or death due to tampering.

•  Anchors that are exposed to fall arrest forces MUST be IMMEDIATELY removed 

from service and destroyed.  

•  Failure to follow these instructions and warnings could result in serious injury or 

death in the event of a fall.

•  A preplanned rescue procedure in the event of a fall is required.  The rescue plan 

must be specific to the project.  The rescue plan must allow for employees to rescue 

themselves, or to be promptly rescued by alternative means. 

•  Harnesses or connectors selected for use with any Safewaze anchor must 

compatible in size and configuration. User must ensure compatibility of snap hooks, 

carabiners and other connectors.  Any connection which could allow disengagement 

must be eliminated. Snap hooks and carabiners must be self locking and self closing 

and must never be hooked to each other. 

•  A Competent Person must conduct an analysis of the workplace and anticipate 

where workers will be conducting their duties, the route they will take to reach their 

work, and the existing and potential fall hazards they may be exposed to.  The 

Competent Person must choose the fall protection equipment to be utilized.  

•  Do not misuse equipment.

•  Equipment designated for fall protection must never be used to lift, hang, support or 

hoist tools or equipment unless specifically certified for such use.    

•  

Safewaze Anchors shall be inspected prior to each use by the user and at least an-

nually by a Competent Person.  Annual inspections shall be documented.  Severity of 

conditions during use may neccesitate increased frequency of documented 

inspections.  

•  Anchors that fail inspection MUST be removed from service.

•  Prior to each use, inspect the FS886 for deficiencies or damage, including, but not 

limited to, sharp edges, rough edges, deformations, corrosion, pits, burrs, chemical 

exposure, extreme heat exposure, or improperly functioning springs. If any deficiencies 

or defects are found, the FS886 must IMMEDIATELY be removed from service.

•  The FS886 must be inspected at least every 6 months by a Competent Person other 

than the user.  Competent person inspections must be recorded in the inspection log 

included in this manual and on the inspection grid label on the FS886. 

INSPECTION

MAINTENANCE & STORAGE

WARRANTY

The FS886 can be cleaned with water and mild soap if necessary.  User should remove 

all dirt, possible corrosives, and contaminants from the anchor prior to and after each 

use.  Never use any type of corrosive substance to clean the FS886.  

Hardware can be wiped off with a clean, dry cloth.

When not in use, store the FS886 in a cool dry area where it will not possibly be 

exposed to extreme light, extreme heat, excessive moisture, or possibly corrosive 

chemicals or materials.   

Safewaze warrants its products are free from defects in materials and 

construction under normal use and service.  Liability is not accepted for abuse, 

modification, improper use, destructive activity and contaminated exposure. 

Personal Fall Arrest: The FS886 Anchor is designed as an anchor 

point to support a maximum of 1 Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) 

when utilized for fall protection applications.  The structure to which 

the anchor is attached must withstand loads applied in the directions 

permitted by the system of at least 5,000 lbs.  Maximum allowable 

free fall is 6’.  

Restraint: The FS886 is authorized for use in Restraint applications. 

The structure to which the anchor is attached must withstand loads 

applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least 1,000 

lbs. NO free fall is permitted. Restraint systems may only be used on 

surfaces with slopes up to 4 / 12 (vertical / horizontal).  For Restraint 

applications, the allowable attachment points to harness are Dorsal 

D-ring, Chest D-ring, Side D-rings, and Shoulder D-rings.

All above referenced applications have a worker weight capacity range of 

310 lbs. (including all clothing, tools, and equipment).

1. To install the FS886, squeeze the handle together to open the top of the Manuclave 

and slip the anchor connection point over the structure.  

2. Rotate the handle which allows the anchor connection point of the anchor to position 

itself around the structure. 

3. Release the handle to allow the hooks to engage on each side of the anhcor.   

4. Ensure that the FS886 is securely fastened by giving the anchor a few sharp pulls. 

DO NOT

 use the FS886 on structures that may be angled, or at the end of a structure 

that may allow the FS886 to slide off the end of the structure.

DO NOT

 use the FS886 where loading is offset from the center of the anchor. 

NOTE:  

The FS886 must be installed on a structure capable of meeting the anchorage 

strength requirements of OSHA 29CFR 1910.66 and 1926.502. 

Work Positioning: The FS886 is authorized for use in Work 

Positioning applications.  Work Positioning allows a worker to be 

supported during suspension while freeing both hands to conduct 

work operations.  The structure to which the Beam Trolley is 

attached must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted 

by the system of at least 3,000 lbs.  Maximum allowable free fall is 

2’.  For positioning applications, the allowable attachment points to 

harness are the Side D-rings. 

 

Rescue/Confined Space: The FS886 is authorized for use in Rescue/

Confined Space applications. Rescue systems are utilized to safely

recover a worker from a confined location or after exposure to a fall.  

Composition of rescue systems can vary based upon the type of 

rescue involved.  The structure to which a Beam Trolley is attached 

must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the 

system of at least 3,000 lbs.  NO free fall is permitted.  For rescue 

applications, the allowable attachment points to harness are Dorsal 

D-ring, Chest D-ring and Shoulder D-rings.
