Example: After a fall, an injured person is often not suspended in a freely accessible position,
e.g. below a falling edge. In this case, the webbing clamp must be connected to the fastener
which is holding the injured person suspended in a position below the falling edge. The connec-
tion element of the lifeline is hooked into the eyelet of the clamping lever (Fig. 5). The rescue
clamp is now secured against falling. The pin of the safety bolt is depressed and removed from
the housing. This allows the clamping lever to be removed (Fig. 6). The U-shaped housing is now
pushed around the webbing (Fig. 7). The upward arrow direction (sun symbol) points towards the
anchor point; the downward arrow direction (ground symbol) points towards the injured person.
The clamping lever is now attached to the housing by inserting the safety bolt with the depressed
pin into its intended position (Fig. 8). The safety bolt is locked when the pin cannot be depressed
any further. The rescue clamp can now be moved downwards on the webbing towards the injured
person. Rescue-lifting equipment is now used to lift the injured person until the fastener/fall
arresting device which is suspending the injured person can be detached from the anchor point
(Fig. 9).
Caution:
• The dimensions of the connection element for the lifeline must be selected to allow it to
move freely in the eyelet of the clamping lever! When the injured person is lifted, the connec-
tion element of the rescue device must not tilt inside the clamping lever eyelet (Fig. 11)!
• The rescue clamp must never be loaded over an edge (Fig. 12)!
• Slack must never be allowed to form in the line connecting the rescue clamp and the rescue
device during the rescue procedure
• The rescue clamp is not designed for active rescue techniques (rescuer rappels together with
the injured person whilst connected to the rescue clamp)
• The disengaged fastener/fall arresting device is hooked into the connection element of the
lifeline using a connection element. The rescue can now be performed in an upward or down-
ward direction.
