The BuckTooth (model 485) is intended to be used in conjunction with the Wood Pole Fall Protection Devices, (models
483 & 484. Although intended for use on models manufactured without the Cleat and Serrated Rotosnap depicted by our
2010 design, it can be used on any BuckSqueeze design manufactured to date. With proper installation and operation
the BuckTooth will prevent models 483 & 484 from slipping on iced poles. (See 480 Series Instructions / Warnings).
To use the Wood Pole Fall Protection Device (WPFPD) with the addition of the BuckTooth, grasp the Paddle and
Carabiner Connector and slide the Outer Strap up the pole to its desired location. Keep the BuckTooth as flat to the pole
as possible. With the Outer Strap at a sharp angle to the pole and downward force applied, the BuckTooth will release
and penetrate the pole, preventing the Outer Strap from slipping. To aid in descending the pole when using the
BuckTooth, lean slightly into the pole to create slack, thrust the outer strap away from your body so that the BuckTooth
unit does not make contact with the pole and let the outer strap drop down the pole to its desired location
(waist level or above). Never let the BuckSqueeze fall below your waist.
