Place a Dee-Ring onto the Tool then wrap the tape through it and around the Tool, stretching the Tape tightly for another seven wraps.
When at the end of the Tape, press it firmly onto itself to secure it.
Pull lightly on the Dee-Ring to ensure that it is secure- do not remove the Tape once secure.
A curing period of 24 hours is recommended to ensure a secure bond.
Match the weight rating: Always confirm your tool’s weight is within the Tool Lanyard’s `load-rating. Overloading is a primary cause of failure.
Inspect regularly: Before every use, check the Tool Lanyard’s webbing, stitching, and connectors for any cuts, tears, corrosion, or damage.
Check the connection: Use a Tool Lanyard with a locking carabiner or a barrel lock to ensure a secure connection that won’t accidentally disengage.
Connect to a reliable anchor: Attach the Tool Lanyard to a solid anchor point on your person (such as a work belt or harness loop-max. 3kg) or a fixed structure.
