protection equipment can be removed. The
knife can also be used to cut the person loose,
but then it's very important that the Smartline is
tight to avoid a fall.
7) Ensure that the descent is not in conflict with moveable
machinery, obstacles or live cable. It is now ready for
lowering.
8) The speed of the descent is regulated with one hand on
the handle and the other hand holding the line below
the device. Start with the line at an angle out of the slot.
With the descender upside down, the descent starts by
pulling the handle upwards (figure 6), and stops when
moving the handle downwards or by releasing it.
Additional friction is given by moving the line into the
slot. It is important to always keep one hand on the line
below the device to be able to control the descent.
9) Once the person is safely on the ground, give
necessary medical assistance and call for help. Detach
the rope from the harness. If this is difficult, cut the rope
with the enclosed knife.
Figure 8 This illustration shows an
alternatively method for lifting, to
transfer the load onto the Smartline.
This method assumes that the rescuer
is climbing down together with the
person being rescued (or descending
with a separate Smartline), while
operating the Smartline.
