Do not skip this instruction manual. Read the instruction manual carefully before using the equipment. If failed in
doing so it may cause serious injury or Death.
This manual must be read and understood in its entirety and used as part of fall
protection training program as required by OSHA or any state regulatory agency.
The user must fully understand the proper equipment use and limitations.
The tools and other accessories to be used by a worker at a height must be
secured to the worker's harness or seat or by some other appropriate means.
Accordingly, the Frontline Tools Lanyard range has been developed to hold any
type of tool that may accidentally fall and cause damage to property, or serious
injuries or even fatalities, to workers.
In fact, objects dropped by workers are the second largest cause of worker
deaths in the workplace.
Very often, the consequences of a falling object are underestimated:
Dropping a work tool also means the risk of destroying the tool, and the possible
damage to property can also have serious consequences in terms of costs, as
well as the lost time required by the worker to leave their work station to recover
the tool.
When dropping tool cannot be prevented (using nets, confinement areas, etc.),
then our Tool Lanyards system range should be used.
THE FUNDAMENTAL STEPS:
1. Choosing the attachment point on the tool
2. Choosing the lanyard connection
3. Choosing the anchor point
1) CHOOSING THE ATTACHMENT POINT ON THE TOOL:
EThis may be a hole on the handle or the body of the tool,
EOr, the body of the tool may serve as an attachment point.
EIf the above options are not available, the attachment point may be created on the
tool directly :
19.68 ft.
130.07 lbs. !
2.20 lbs.
WARNING! The use of these tool-holding lanyards (that are not PPE) does not exempt you from the obligation of
wearing PPE, in particular safety helmet.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CREATING AN ATTACHMENT POINT ON THE TOOL USING ATTACHMENT WEBBING TOOL D-RING
ACTLC5 WITH SELF-MERGING RUBBER TAPE:
1- POSITION D-RING
a. When installing the 'D' ring, make sure of its placement, so it
can pivot freely.
b. Fix the attachment D-ring to the tool using self merging rubber
tape:
(I) Clean the surface to be used, cut a piece of the tape to the
desired length (generally 12 to 20 inch). The length
should be adjusted based on the size of the tool/handle. Do
not install on a conical tool. Fig.01
(ii) Remove and discard the clear plastic protective film. Both
sides of the tape "work". Fig.02
(iii) Make the 1st winding around the handle, holding the tape in
position and rolling it around the desired part (handle +
attachment 'D' ring), until the tape is doubled over itself. This
initial winding, tape on tape, will help to secure the future
layers. Fig.03
(iv) Make sure to maintain constant tension as you are handling
it, and that each new layer of tape partially covers the bare
part and partially the tape itself. This overlapping will help
the tape to self-merge. The stretch should be 40%/50% of the remaining length of the
tape; this stretching ensures the application will hold. Fig.04
(v) The tape must be wound at minimum over the entire length of the attachment 'D' ring in
one direction and covered a second time over itself, in the other direction. The last
layer of tape must be wound completely over the previous layer without overlapping.
Maximum tension is not necessary on the last layer. Fig.05
The tape layers will start to self-merge immediately, with permanent adhesion within
24 hours. Repositioning is not recommended. Even though the silicone tape may be
used under wet or oily conditions, an application on a clean, dry surface is
recommended. The tape is not reusable, but additional tape layers can be added at
any point in time.
After application and curing time, always check the strength of the application by
testing it with a 4.40 lbs. load. Perform this test before every use.
USAGE COMPATIBILITY:
Always use with the attachment D-ring applied, a stretch lanyard for connecting tool,
which can absorb the energy when the tool falls (e.g.: ACTLC5, ACTLS22).
2- SELECT THE CONNECTION (TOOL LANYARD):
The lanyard connection must be selected based on the weight of the tool, the attachment
on the tool, (see § 1), and based on the length necessary for use.

Watch Out for the Direction!

USING LANYARDS ACTLC5, ACTLS22
Note: Always properly tie the knot made using the stopper on the cord.
3- CHOOSING THE ANCHOR POINT:·
ŸThis may be a tool attachment ring on the user's belt, harness, etc.
ŸIt may be a removable 'D' ring that can be installed on a harness, belt, etc.
Once the anchor point and the lanyard are selected, the connections can
be made using aluminium connector.
ŸItem ACTLC5 is installed on the user's wrist, so the wrist serves as the
anchor point!
ŸAlways make sure the hook-and-loop closures fasten properly, because
they make sure the bracelet stays closed and holds if the tool is
dropped.
Always make sure the carabiners are closed and locked (screwed in).
