WARNING: It is important to ensure that the connecting elements of the connectors are compatible in size and

shape, while making a connection with the hooks and carabiners. Never connect one hook to another hook, or

one carabiner to another carabiner, or a carabiner to a hook. Also, make sure not to connect a connector to any

element that may cause the hook or carabiner material to distort/ abrade or wear out.

WARNING: If the ends of the lifelines are not spliced or swaged properly by following the proper methods, then

this may result in the termination to give away, when the connector connected to them is subjected to a force.

DeWALT shall not be held responsible for the consequences arising out of this.

WARNING: Knots should never be used for load bearing end terminations, since the presence of knots

significantly reduces the strength of a lifeline. See ANSI Z359.1 for more details.

WARNING: DeWALT does not guarantee against sub assemblies made using products that are not manufactured

by DeWALT, and is not responsible for the consequences arising out of the same.

HOW TO MAKE CONNECTIONS WITH

THE CONNECTORS

•

Carabiner: All D

WALT carabiners are designed

to be opened by a minimum of two deliberate

consecutive actions. First, hold the carabiner and

rotate its locking nut to reveal the neck of the

connector. Now push the gate towards the center

of the carabiner. The carabiner closes and locks

automatically once the gate is released.

•

For triple-locking carabiners, the locking nut

needs to be pushed up first, before rotating it.

•

Snap Hook: To open the gate of the snap

hook, first press on to the lock of the snap

hook alongside the eye of the hook, and then

simultaneously press on the gate. This opens the

gate of the hook. The gate automatically closes

on release, and the lock ensures that it remains

so, unless it is pressed again. The direction

of application of force on the lock and the

gate, is hence, opposite of each other, thereby

ensuring that the snap hook does not open up

accidentally.

IMPORTANT POINTS FOR SUBSYSTEM

ASSEMBLIES

•

When connecting an energy absorbing lanyard

to the dorsal attachment D-ring of the harness,

connect only the shock-pack end of the lanyard

to the D-ring.

•

While making connections, ensure that all

connectors are fully closed and locked.

•

A lifeline should never be connected to a

connector using a knot. Also, never tie-back a

connector on to a lifeline or the lanyard. Use

a spliced end termination and a thimble to

attach a connector to a synthetic rope lifeline.

Connectors which are required to attach to wire

rope lifelines, must be attached to a thimble on

a formed eye termination of the wire rope. It

is important to ensure that the termination is

secured properly by swaging the ends of the wire

rope by following proper procedures, before the

thimble is connected to a connector. opposite of

each other, thereby ensuring that the snap hook

does not open up accidentally.
