  • Page 3: Specifications

    General Information: The DCD Falcon Lasher is a lightweight lasher that was designed to lash cables or up to 3-1/4” diameter. It weighs just 21 pounds and does not need traction from the supporting strand to drive the lasher making it very beneficial to use when overlashing existing cables.

  • Page 4: Safety

    Safety: - The Falcon Lasher is intended for use only as described in this manual. Do not modify or dismantle the lasher. It has been assembled and inspected and is only covered by a warranty in its “as shipped” form. Any attempt to dismantle or modify the lasher will void the warranty and may result in property damage, severe bodily harm, or death.
