- attach the line at the device as described;
- attach the connector to the attachment point of the harness of the user;
- tight the line between the device and the anchor line;
- tighten the free end of the line to avoid the initial slipping;
- operate on the lever (E) and free end of the line to reach the desired descent
speed.
Fig. 4 – Vertical abseil:
- attach the line at the device as described;
- attach the connector to the anchor point;
- attach the end coming out by the lever (E) to the attachment point of the
harness of the user;
- operate on the lever (E) and free end of the line to reach the desired abseil

Before use in a position that is completely safe, on each occasion check that
the device is working properly.
Important:
- particular conditions (e.g.: heat, cold, wet, oil, dust) affect or interfere with
the performances of this device;
- while placing the device check that:
- there is no slack in line attached;
- descent is not impeded by obstacles;
- the anchor point of the line is above the user;
- the device:
- must be kept above the attachment point of the harness;
- that remain installed in work sites must be properly protected
against weather;
- must be used with compatible devices that allow a nimble actuation
of the lever (E) and complete control of the free end of the line.
Warning:
- overloads and dynamic loads can damage the line;
- connect the device to the harness with a system shorter than 1m;
- handle the descent maintaining control of the free end of the line (fig. 5);
- use this device exclusively with the brackets (B and C) linked by the
attachment point (G) and a connector;
- the wrong attachment of the line nullify the performances of this device (e.g.:
the free end coming out by the lever (E) – (fig. 6));
- to prevent the accidental release of the device it is required to make a knot
at least 0,5m before the free end of the line;
- the main purpose of this device is progression along the working line, and
it is not suitable for fall arrest systems: always connect to a fall arrest system
