WARNING: Most accidents occur when the operator does not have full control of the product or the work position.
Keep a safe work position.
Cut horizontal sections at hip level and vertical sections at solar plexus level.
Hold the product with 2 hands.
Make sure that you are stable on your feet and keep a low lateral force when you cut vertical branches. Steer the safety line through a different connection point to remove or prevent increasing lateral forces. You can also use an adjustable strop directly from the harness to a different connection point.
Use a foot loop to keep a safe work position.
Do a check of the harness, belt and ropes at a regular interval.
If you must climb with the product, attach the product to the rear connection point on the harness. The rear connection point keeps the product clear from climbing lines and makes sure that the weight has central support down your spine.
WARNING: You must engage the chain brake when you lower the product onto its strop.
