Use as EN 341/2A rescue belay device
Use of the device in compliance with EN 341/2A in combination with the appropriate rope is intended for rescue and
protection against falling from above in a rescue system. This use is not intended for work at heights.
For use to evacuate the user (device secured on the harness: the device slides on the fixed rope) Fig. 10a. For evacuation
of a person by a rescuer (device secured to anchoring: the rope slides in the device) see Fig. 10b. Never release the
braking side rope [10] during descent (Fig. 10c):
Use must be carried out by adequately trained personnel and/or following clear emergency protocols. If the device and
the rope are left permanently installed they must be protected from environmental conditions.

Use as belaying and rappelling device for EN 15151-1 compliant climbing
EN 15151-1 compliant use of Druid and Druid Pro is intended for climbing activity during work at heights (Fig. 11) by
adequately trained personnel. Druid and Druid Pro are not recommended for use in sport climbing or mountaineering.
WARNING: during all phases of belaying and rappelling for rock-climbing, never leave the braking side of the rope [10]:
DANGER OF DEATH.
Never use a rope other than a dynamic single EN 892 rope: DANGER OF DEATH.
Belaying
Take particular care during the first metres of climbing: there is a danger that the minimum clearance distance under the
user may not be sufficient.
To feed out rope see Fig. 12. To feed out rope quickly see Fig. 13. To take in rope see Fig. 14. To stop a fall hold the brake
side rope firmly [10] (Fig. 15): the belayer must pay attention to the imbalances caused by the fall force.
Rappelling
To rappel the climber see Fig. 16. To rappel in the event of high rope friction or limited weight see Fig. 9.
