Radius
Layers
The values labelled as “x” in the table
18
refer to the smallest
radius for which the product from the NoCut
®
range named in
the head of the table
can be used. Larger edge radii are included in
the respective labelling.
Never use NoCut
®
on edges with sharp ridges or on edges that
are uneven (e.g. perforations, steps, notches and splinters).
3.3 Selecting the correct size
Choose the correct size of NoCut
®
for your lifting equipment. The
cross-section of the lifting accessory must not be constricted. Also
note that the width of the round sling will increase when subjected to
loads! When affixing NoCut
®
over both the cables of a round sling, it
must be ensured that there is enough space for both cables, so that
they do not cross over or overlap
14
.
3.4 Aligning the load
Do not apply NoCut
®
to the load if it is twisted. When using NoCut
®
pads,
ensure that they lie beneath the full width of the lifting accessory and that
the lifting accessory cannot slip onto the load’s sharp edge
during the lifting
process. Position NoCut
®
on the lifting accessory and load so that it is not
subjected to tensile loading during the lifting process. In the case of edge
radii
≥
1mm, a settlement of maximum 30 mm is permitted between the
load and NoCut
®
. In the case of smaller radii, the lifting process is to be
prepared so that NoCut
®
and the load cannot slide against once another
during hoisting. The woven structure of NoCut
®
may relax during use leading
to a thickening of the fabric and a resulting fall in sleeve length. As such, an
excess length should be used in the case of rotating and turning.
If the sharp edge slides into NoCut
®
it can lead to a loss of the
protective function. Falling loads pose a serious danger to
people and materials.
