2.1 Intended use
This product may only be used for the purpose described
in this instruction manual (see Point 2.1.1) and only in
conjunction with tested and approved components. It must
not be combined with other components, as this could put
your safety at risk. MARK Secure 1 must be used with
Knauf system components or with similar products with the
same properties.
You may only use this product if you are physically and
mentally capable of doing so, i.e., for example, not if you
are under the inuence of drugs or alcohol, are suffering
from mental strain or have other mental or physical
impairments. In any case, the intended use as protection
against a fall from height requires full physical and mental
aptitude.
2.1.1 Purpose of the product as an anchor device
according to EN 795:2012 type A
The product may be used within the intended use conditions
on the specied wall and attachment shell systems from
Knauf Gesellschaft m.b.H., or similar products with the
same properties, for the intended purpose as protection
against a fall from height.
Note:
This product is an anchor device, the purpose of which
is to protect the user from a fall from height, either by
preventing a fall (restraint system) or by arresting a
free fall (fall arrest system).
The MARK Secure 1 anchor point is intended for use as
an anchor device in conjunction with personal protective
equipment (PPE) recommended by MARK Save A Life
GmbH (retractable fall arrest blocks, safety overalls and
connectors from MARK Save A Life).
Classed as tested accessories: Test standard
Descender and rescue devices

If it seems unsafe to continue using this product, (see Point
8.1) you must not use it again under any circumstances.
Before every use of the product, the user must carry out
a visual inspection according to Point 7 of this manual to
ensure that the product is in serviceable condition.
2.1.2 Use of the anchor point
In order to use the anchor point, the buckle is released
from the lock and folded up. The connector of the PPE can
be suspended.
In principle, the load from a fall from height may be in any
direction protruding from the wall surface or parallel to the
wall.
The length of the connector used must be selected so that
in each case the possible fall space is free of obstacles.
The total position change of the anchor point to be
expected in the event of a fall from height (consisting of
the deformation of the metal stud partition or attachment
shell and the anchor point itself) is a maximum of 15 cm
in the event of a vertical load direction parallel to the wall
surface.
If there is a fall-related load when a person falls vertically
to the wall surface (e.g. in the event of an unintentional
redirection of the load), it must be anticipated that there will
be a total position change of the anchor point (consisting
of the deformation of the metal stud partition or attachment
shell and the anchor point itself) of a maximum of 15% of
the respective wall height.

intended use.
When using the product, the user must be kitted out
with equipment that limits the maximum dynamic forces
that impact on their body during a fall arrest process to a
maximum of 6 kN.
2.2 Service life and duration of use
This product has an unlimited service life. In practice,
however, its duration of use depends on several factors.
• Extreme operating conditions, environmental factors,
contamination, damage, storage and transport can
all reduce the service life of this product.
• The product features a fall indicator, which clearly
shows whether the anchor device has been
subjected to the stress of a fall and must therefore
be disposed of as per Point 8.
• The visual and functional inspection described in
Point 7 shows every user whether the anchor device
has been deformed by a previous fall and therefore
can no longer be used.
If the anchor point buckle will no longer engage easily
in its home position or move easily from its home
position to its working position, then the anchor
device has been deformed by a previous fall and must
no longer be used.
2.3 Qualication of persons
This product may only be used by people who have read
and understood this instruction manual, or by people who
are being supervised by a trained, skilled person.
2.4. Training
We would be happy to provide you with information about
training. If you are interested, please contact us:

8. Align the deformation bracket Eto the slots of the UA
profile K, in which case the position of the M8 screws
Iand the counterplates Fmust always be selected so
that it is as far as possible towards the end of the un-
dulating side of the relevant deformation bracket E.
The M8 screws I must not be inserted at the open
end of the slots of the UA profile K. If open slots at
the end of the UA profile Kare unavoidable, then the
next slot pair with closed ends must be used.
3. Push the UA profile Kinto the UW connection profile
on the ceiling and unfinished floor and align to be
precisely perpendicular with the back of the profile
30 mm to the right of the position of the anchor point
Aaccording to the plan.
4. Position the four deformation brackets E, each with
the undulating side pointing towards the UA profile K
at its upper and lower end, align the UA profile Kand
mark the anchor holes on the unfinished ceiling and
floor (see Overview 3.1).
5. Drill two anchor holes each in the unfinished ceiling
and floor to a depth of 110 mm.
6. Clean the drilled holes and position the anchor H
(FAZ M12).
7. Insert the deformation brackets E(see Overview 3.1)
and loosely tighten M12 nuts of the concrete anchors
H. This means that the deformation brackets Ecan
still easily be aligned to the UA profile K.
9. Insert 2 screws Ieach at the top and bottom on the
UA profile Kand secure the deformation brackets E
using the counterplates Fwith the maximum permit-
ted torque (27 Nm).
10. Tighten the M12 nuts on the anchors Hat the top
and bottom (torque 60 Nm).

12. The opening for the absorber Bis cut out in the first
plate position using a keyhole saw in a rectangle of
approx. 70 x 45 mm, meaning that the first plate po-
sition is solidly on the substructure and can be se-
cured. The absorber Bsits flush with the reverse of
the relevant ceiling cladding.
Install the first ceiling cladding layer and level out. In
the event of triple-layer cladding, also cut out and
install the second cladding layer as described above.
13. Adjust the relevant ceiling cladding, calibrate the
centre of the absorber B(central 6 mm hole) to the
correct position and mark as precisely as possible on
the prepared plate. Cut out a roughly coin-sized
opening at the marked position. Secure the ceiling
cladding to the substructure.
14. Align the hole cutter with 6 mm guide drill with the
central hole of the absorber Band cut out the hole
from the ceiling cladding. When doing so, do not cut
into the cladding layer(s) underneath. Remove the
round cut-out and level out the wall/attachment shell.
15. Completion:
After levelling out the wall/attachment shell, insert
