Fall Clearance: There must be su󰀩cient clearance below the anchorage connector to
arrest a fall before the user strikes the ground or an obstruction. When calculating fall
clearance, account for a MINIMUM 2’ safety factor, deceleration distance, user height,
length of lanyard/SRL, and all other applicable factors. (See Figure 1)

Swing Falls: Prior to installation or use, make considerations for eliminating or
minimizing all swing fall hazards. Swing falls occur when the anchor is not directly
above the location where a fall occurs.Always work as close to in line with the anchor
point as possible. Swing falls signicantly increase the likelihood of serious injury or
death in the even of a fall. (See Figure 2)

COMPATIBILITY OF CONNECTIONS
Connectors are compatible with connecting elements when they have been designed
to work together in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not cause their
gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how they become oriented.
Connectors (hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be capable of supporting at least
5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN). Connectors must be compatible with the anchorage or other
system components (see Figure 4). Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Non-
compatible connectors may unintentionally disengage (see Figure 3). Connectors must
be compatible in size, shape, and strength. Self-locking snap hooks and carabiners are
required by ANSI Z359 and OSHA guidelines. Contact SAFEWAZE™ if you have any
questions about compatibility.

Using a connector that is undersized or irregular in shape (1) to connect a snap hook
or carabiner could allow the connector to force open the gate of the snap hook or
carabiner. When force is applied, the gate of the hook or carabiner presses against
the non-compliant part (2) and forces open the gate (3). This allows the snap hook or
carabiner to disengage (4) from the connection point.
MAKING CONNECTIONS
Snap hooks and carabiners used with this equipment must be double locking and/
or twist lock. Ensure all connections are compatible in size, shape and strength. Do
not use equipment that is not compatible. Ensure all connectors are fully closed and
locked.
SAFEWAZE™ connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used
only as specied in each product’s user’s instructions. See gure 4 for examples of
inappropriate connections. Do not connect snap hooks and carabiners:
• To a D-ring to which another connector is attached.
• In a manner that would result in a load on the gate (with the exception of tie back
hooks).
• NOTE: Large snap hooks must not be connected to objects which will result in a
load on the gate if the hook twists or rotates, unless the snap hook complies with
ANSI Z359.1-2007 or ANSI Z359.12 and is equipped with a 3,600 lb (16 kN) gate.
Check the marking on your snap hook to verify its compatibility.
NOTE: Large throat snap hooks must not be connected to standard size D-rings or
similar objects which will result in a load on the gate if the hook or D-ring twists or
rotates, unless the snap hook complies with ANSI Z359.1-2007 or ANSI Z359.12 and is
equipped with a 3,600 lb (16 kN) gate. Check the marking on your snap hook to verify
that it is appropriate for your application.
• In a false engagement, where features that protrude from the snap hook or
carabiner catch on the anchor, and without visual conrmation seems to be fully
engaged to the anchor point.
• To each other.
• By wrapping the web lifeline around an anchor and securing to lifeline except as
allowed for Tie Back models.
• To any object which is shaped or sized in a way that the snap hook or carabiner will
not close and lock, or that roll-out could occur.
• In a manner that does not allow the connector to align properly while under load.

Installation and Use
Before Each Use
Users of personal fall arrest systems must have a rescue plan in place, if the user
cannot rescue themselves, as well as the means to carry out the rescue.
The user must read and understand these User Instructions, as well as the User
Instructions for every component/subsystem of the personal fall arrest system.
The entire SAFEWAZE™ FS805-KM Horizontal Lifeline system, and its subsystems,
must be inspected prior to each use for wear, damage, and other deterioration. All
snaphooks and carabiners must be able to self-close and lock. Check the operation
of self retracting lanyards by pulling smoothly on the lifeline, then pull sharply on the
lifeline to engage the locking mechanism. All webbing and rope must be inspected
for tears, cuts, fraying, abrasion, unsplicing, discoloration, or other signs of wear and
damage. Sewn terminations should be secure, complete, and not visibly damaged. All
rope splices should be secure. System must be properly tensioned. No load indicators
shall be deployed. Damaged and other deteriorated and defective components must
be immediately removed from service, in accordance with the requirements of OSHA
29 CFR 1910.66 and 1926.502.
System Installation
Step 1. Install Anchorage Connector
Wrap the Cross Arm Strap around the anchorage and pass the small D-ring end
through the large D-ring end. Wrap as many time as necessary to achieve desired
length. Only connect to the small D-ring of the Cross Arm Strap.
Other approved anchorage connectors may be used in place of the supplied Cross Arm
Strap. See anchorage connector user instructions for proper installation.
Step 2. Connect Thimble End of Rope
Pass the thimble end of the rope through both O-rings and connect to the small D-ring
of the Cross Arm Strap using the supplied carabiner.
