Description
The FallTech For Tools® Cold Shrink Tool Attachments are used with FallTech Choke-on Cinch Loop tool attachments to create an attachment point for most hand tools, power tools, and other equipment to attach to FallTech® Tool Tethers, Wrist Attachments, and Tool Anchors.
Application
The FallTech For Tools® Cold Shrink Tool Attachments are designed to be used as a component in a dropped object prevention program. The tool
tethering system is an assembly of components and subsystems to arrest a tool from an accidental drop. The system typically consists of a tool attachment, a tool tether, and a tool anchor. See product labels for maximum load capacity and maximum allowable tether length.
System Requirements
The FallTech For Tools® Cold Shrink Tool Attachments are designed for use with a single tool. DO NOT exceed the capacity of the lowest rated component in the system.
Compatibility of Components:
Equipment is designed for use with approved components and subsystems only. Substitutions or replacements made with non-approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility of equipment and may affect the safety and reliability of the complete system.
Making Connections:
Only use locking connectors with this equipment. Only use connectors that are suitable to each application. Ensure all connections are compatible in size, shape, and strength. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Visually ensure all connectors are fully closed and locked.
Installation
Pre-Use Inspection:
Inspect the tool attachments thoroughly before attaching them to the tool for missing or damaged parts. Inspect the webbing, looped ends, and stitches for cuts, fraying, and signs of damage to the materials from excessive wear or abrasion. Inspect the split rings, D-rings, carabiners, and speed clips for excessive wear, cracks, or deformities. If any of these conditions exist, remove from service.
Installation Procedure:
Ensure the cold shrink, tool and tool attachment are clean and free of oil, grease, or debris, which could prevent adequate attachment onto the tool. The Cold Shink and Tool Attachment should be placed away from the functional parts of the tool, and the connection point should face away from the centre of gravity. See the figures below for the installation steps by type of attachment.
Choke-On Cinch Loop Installation Procedure:
Position the Choke-on Cinch Loop Tool Attachment high up on the shaft of the tool, pull the anchor end through the elastic loop and pull the tool attachment to choke down onto the tool, see Figure 1. Snug the barrel lock onto the elastic loop to maintain a tight fit of the elastic cord.
Cold Shrink Sizing Selection:
Select the appropriate size cold shrink to fit over the shaft of the tool and the tool attachment. The cold shrink should be the smallest size that will fit over the tool and tool attachment. If the size of the cold shrink is too large, the cold shrink will not contact enough to maintain a tight fit on the tool attachment and allow it to slip off during an accidental drop.
Cold Shrink Installation:
Slide the cold shrink over the shaft of the tool and the tool attachment with the pull direction arrow on the cold shrink pointing away from the cinched nylon cord, see Figure 2. Position the cold shrink below the choked-onnylon cord and barrel lock, see Figure 3. Pull the free end of the cold shrink inner core. This will allow the cold shrink to contract over the tool shaft and tool attachment. Attach a tool lanyard and anchor to complete the system, see Figure 4.
