As soon as he comes to rest against his working
position, he places the connector around a
suitably sized attachment point so as to be
sufficiently strong (for this, see
'
point ) and then attaches the connection
element into the other side retaining eye on the
safety belt. The adjustable connector must be
adjusted in accordance with the instructions that
apply to it. Before the user reclines backwards
into safety belt, he should recheck the connector
laid around the attachment (see above
' '
Attachment ) as well as the correct locking of
the connector elements. With this type of
application, the connector should, as a rule, be
clasped into the second retaining eye on the
belt.
3.2 Safety belts with a connector that has
been securely sewn on
(Type: B4 Var. 1)
The sewn connector (strap) is securely
connected with the safety belt at a retaining eye
and not adjustable. At the other end of the
adjustable connector there is a connector
element in accordance with EN 362. After
applying the safety belt, the user loops up the
connector. In order to avoid trips, e.g. on the
way to the working position, the end with the
connector element should either be worn freely
over the shoulder or clasped into a retaining
eye.
As soon as he has reached his working position,
he fastens the fastener to an attachment point
with sufficient strength (see attachment point).
Acc. to EN 358, safety belts with a fixed, non-
adjustable connecting element may only be
used as a restraint system.
3.3 Safety belts with an adjustable
connector that has been securely sewn
on
(Type: B4 Var. R)
The adjustable connector is securely connected
with the safety belt at a retaining eye. At the
other end of the adjustable connector there is a
connector element in accordance with EN 362.
The connector is shortened by sliding the belt
strap back through the friction clasp in the
direction of the retaining eye. In order to extend
the adjustable connector, the belt strap is pulled
through the friction clasp in the direction of the
connector element.
After applying the safety belt, the user loops up
the connector. In order to avoid trips, e.g. on the
way to the working position, the end with the
connector element should either be worn freely
over the shoulder or clasped into a retaining
eye.

Attachment
As soon as he come to rest against his working
position, he places the connector around a
suitably sized attachment point so as to be
sufficiently strong (for this, see
'
point ) and then attaches the connection
element into the other side retaining eye on the
safety belt. Before the user reclines backwards
into safety belt, he should recheck the connector

Attachment ) as well as the correct locking of
the connector elements. With this type of
application, the connector should, as a rule, be
clasped into the second retaining eye on the
belt.
Caution:
When using the device as a restraint belt, care
must be taken that the edge cannot be reached.
In addition, when working on surfaces with
slopes of over 45°, care must be taken that the
person is held or secured (in the case of
slipping) (e.g. in the case of roof surfaces,
banks).
It is to be noted in particular that, with
untensioned cable build-up, the effectiveness of
the entire restraint system is no longer provided
under certain circumstances. Then there can be
a direct danger of falling if the fall edge is
reached.
The fasteners must always be shorter than the
distance to the fall edge. This is achieved by
correctly setting the adjustable connector (e.g.
Masi MA 4).
Important:
If pocket webs / pocket eyelets are sewn on at
the back, these are permissible only for holding
a tool pouch or a tool bag. In no case should a
fastening or similar be attached to them.
Any abuse to the side hold eyelets through
hanging or sitting in the belt inevitably leads to
damage and is therefore inadmissible.
The adjusting devices and connecting elements
are to be checked regularly during the
performance of work.
