Applicable Safety Standards
When used according to instructions, this product meets or exceeds all applicable
OSHA 1926.502 Subpart M, OSHA 1910, and ANSI A10.32 standards for fall
protection. Applicable standards and regulations depend on the type of work being
done, and also might include state-specic regulations. Refer to local, state, and
federal (OSHA) requirements for additional information concerning the governing of
occupational safety regarding Personal Fall Arrest Systems (PFAS).
Worker Classifications
Understand the denitions of those who work in proximity of or may be
exposed to fall hazards.
Qualied Person: A person with an accredidated degree or certication, and with
extensive experience or sufcient professional standing, who is considered procient in
planning and reviewing the conformity of fall protection and rescue systems.
Competent Person: A highly trained and experienced person who is assigned by the
employer to be responsible for all elements of a fall safety program, including, but not
limited to, its regulation, management, and application. A person who is procient in
identifying existing and predictable hazards, and who has the authority to stop work in
order to eliminate hazards.
Authorized Person: A person who is assigned by their employer to work around or be
subject to potential or existing fall hazards.
It is the responsibility of a Qualied or Competent person to supervise the job
site and ensure safety regulations are complied with.
Personal Fall Arrest: SAFEWAZE™ FS807 Horizontal Lifelines can be used as part
of a complete Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) for a maximum of 3 users. The
structure utilized for attachment must be capable of withstanding a load of 5,000 lbs in
all directions permitted by the system. The maximum allowable free fall is 6 ft, with the
maximum combined length of the fall arrester, lanyard extension, and D-ring being 36
inches.

Fall Clearance: There must be suf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
1. Depress Housing Plate Release button and swive apart Housing Plates. Wrap rope around the
drum of the tensioner as indicated related to rope end anchor point. Observe the path of the rope
with regard to both the drum and housing plate edges.
2. With a carabiner and cross arm strap, attach the thimbled end of the rope to one anchorage and
with the second carabiner secure the tensioner to the second anchorage via the Tensioner Anchorage
Attachment Point. If the tensioner is installed as indicated, the tail of the rope will hang down.
3. Pull slack through the tensioner by hand, and check that the rope is sitting in the groove of the
drum at this time. Ensure that as rope stays in the groove of the drum.
4. The rope can be pulled through the tensioner so that the horizontal portion of the lifeline becomes
taught enough to hold and arrest a fall. Once satisfactory tension is achieved on the lifeline, rotate the
lever as indicated until rotation of lever stops(Figure 1), to lock the drum/rope in the tensioner. This
may be tested by loading the rope 5 ft (1.5 m) from the tensioner by hand pulling downward on the
lifeline. The sag of the lifeline should not exceed 4 in (100 mm).

Uninstall Guide
FS807 Fall Clearance Chart
Uninstall is easily achieved by rotating the handle counter clockwise (see Figure 3) to unlock drum
assembly. With the drum assembly unlocked, press in on the ridged portion of the drum assembly
while at the same time pulling the rope through the tensioner to slacken horizontal lifeline. Once
enough slack is achieved, disconnect the tensioner and opposite end of the lifeline from anchorage
points.
