PLEASE READ - IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNINGS AND LIMITATIONS
1.0 Descripon - The FallTech For Tools™ Tool Tethers are used to connect to the tool or tool aachment to FallTech® Wrist Aachments and Tool Anchors.
2.0 Applicaon - The FallTech For Tools™ Tool Tethers are designed to be used as a component in a dropped object prevenon program. The tool tethering system
is an assembly of components and subsystems to arrest a tool from an accidental drop. The system typically consists of tool aachment, a tool tether, and a tool
anchor. See product labels for maximum load capacity and maximum tether length.
3.0 System Requirements - The FallTech For Tools™ Tool Tethers is designed for use by a single tool with a combined weight no greater than 15 lbs (6.8 kg), based
on the rang of the aachment. DO NOT exceed the capacity of the lowest rated component in the system.
3.1 Compability of Components: Equipment is designed for use with approved components and subsystems only. Substuons or replacements made
with non-approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compability of equipment and may aect the safety and reliability of the complete system.
3.2 Making Connecons: Only use locking connectors with this equipment. Only use connectors that are suitable to each applicaon. Ensure all connecons
are compable in size, shape, and strength. Do not use equipment that is not compable. Visually ensure all connectors are fully closed and locked.
4.0 Installaon
4.1 Pre-Use Inspecon: Inspect the tool tethers thoroughly for missing or damaged parts before aaching it to the tool. Inspect the webbing, looped ends,
and stching for cuts, fraying, and signs of damage to the materials from excessive wear or abrasion. Inspect the carabiners and speed clips for excessive wear,
cracks, or deformies. If any of these condions exist, remove from service.
4.2 Installaon Procedure: Ensure the tool aachment is clean and free of oil, grease, or debris, which could prevent adequate aachment onto the tool or
tool aachment. The Tool Tether should be placed away from the funconal parts of the tool and the connecon point should face away from the center of
gravity if connect directly to the tool. See the gures below for the installaon steps by type of aachment.
4.2.1 Hard Hat Tether Installaon Procedure (Stretch Coil Type): Locate a secure locaon on the inner suspension, an open hole, or slot on the shell
to install the FallTech® Hard Hat Tether. Feed the looped end into the hole or slot and pass the anchorage end connector through the loop to choke
down onto the hard hat, see Figure 1. Open the metal clip and securely aach it to a suitable anchor point such as a full body harness.
4.2.2 Hard Hat Tether Installaon Procedure (Stretch Web Type): Locate a secure locaon on the inner suspension, an open hole, or slot on the shell
to install the FallTech® Hard Hat Tether. Open the plasc cam buckle to release the webbing from the buckle. Slide the end through and around the
hole or slot and feed it back into the cam buckle, see Figure 2. Adjust to the desired length and close the cam buckle. Pull on the web to ensure the
connecon is secure, detach the plasc speed clip and route the anchorage end to a secure anchor point such as a full body harness.
4.2.3 Choke-On Installaon Procedure: Pass the nylon loop through an established hole on the tool, pass the anchorage end connector through the
nylon loop and pull the tool aachment through to choke down onto the tool, see Figure 3. Connect to a suitable anchor point. DO NOT aach tools
over 5 lbs (2.3 kg) to Wrist Anchor or to your full body harness.
4.2.4 Carabiner Installaon Procedure: Unscrew the screw gate and aach to an exisng hole, turn the screw gate to lock it in the closed posion. If
using a twist lock carabiner, ensure it is fully locked closed. DO NOT aach tools over 5 lbs (2.3 kg) to a Wrist Anchor or to your full body harness.
