Guidance of the rope must be controlled by the securing hand during every descending
action using this device.
Equipment conforming to the standards EN 567 and/or EN 358 is not suitable for breaking
free falls as these standards do not call for a shock absorber.
All represented functions must first be rehearsed. Compliance with the following steps
applies in particular to all release movements:
1. All variations of release with securing hand on the rope and feet on the ground
2. All variations of release with securing hand on the rope at a low height (1 metre)
3. All variations of release with securing hand on the rope at a height of over 3 metres
