WARNING
• Users should consult with their doctor to verify ability to safely absorb the forces of a fall arrest event.
Fitness level, age, and other health conditions can greatly affect an individuals ability to withstand fall
arrest forces. Women who are pregnant, individuals considered minors must not use any Safewaze
equipment.
•
Never alter any part of an anchor or add/remove components. Safewaze shall not be held
responsible for injury or death due to tampering.
•
Anchors that are exposed to fall arrest forces MUST be IMMEDIATELY removed from service and
destroyed.
• Failure to follow these instructions and warnings could result in serious injury or death in the event
of a fall.
•
A preplanned rescue procedure in the event of a fall is required. The rescue plan must be specific
to the project. The rescue plan must allow for employees to rescue themselves, or to be promptly
rescued by alternative means.
• Harnesses or connectors selected for use with any Safewaze anchor must be compatible in size and
configuration. User must ensure compatibility of snap hooks, carabiners and other connectors. Any
connection which could allow disengagement must be eliminated. Snap hooks and carabiners must
be self locking and self closing and must never be hooked to each other.
• A Competent Person must conduct an analysis of the workplace and anticipate where workers will
be conducting their duties, the route they will take to reach their work, and the existing and potential
fall hazards they may be exposed to. The Competent Person must choose the fall protection
equipment to be utilized.
• Do not misuse equipment.
• Equipment designated for fall protection must never be used to lift, hang, support or hoist tools or
equipment unless specifically certified for such use.
• Safewaze Anchors shall be inspected prior to each use by the user, and at least annually by a
Competent Person other than the user. Annual inspections shall be documented. Severity of
conditions during use may necessitate increased frequency of documented inspections.
• Anchors that fail inspection MUST be removed from service.
•
Prior to each use, inspect the anchor for deficiencies or damage, including, but not limited to, sharp
edges, rough edges, deformations, corrosion, pits, burrs, chemical exposure, extreme heat
exposure, kinked, bird nested, or otherwise damaged cable, and damaged, missing or illegible
labels. If any deficiencies or defects are found, the anchor must IMMEDIATELY be removed from
service.
• The anchor must be inspected at least annually by a Competent Person other than the user.
• Competent person inspections must be recorded in the inspection log included in this manual and on
the inspection grid label on the anchor.
INSPECTION
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
WARRANTY
Anchor can be cleaned with water and mild soap if necessary. User should remove all dirt, possible
corrosives, and contaminants from the anchor prior to, and after each use. Never use any type of
corrosive substance to clean the anchor.
Excess water should be blown out with compressed air. Hardware can be wiped off with a clean, dry
cloth.
When not in use, store the anchor in a cool dry area where it will not be exposed to extreme light,
extreme heat, excessive moisture, or possibly corrosive chemicals or materials.
Safewaze warrants its products are free from defects in materials and construction under normal use
and service. Liability is not accepted for abuse, modification, improper use, destructive activity and
contaminated exposure.

LABELS
The FS871/871N can be removed in it’s entirety if no longer needed, or the user can simply hammer
the fall protection connection point of the anchor flat and shingle over. The user can also snap off and
remove the fall connection point as well.
Installation and use of the FS871 will damage the substrate to which it is installed. The user is
responsible for effective repair of the roof area where install occurred.
1.
The FS871 is installed over and into a roof truss at the peak of the roofline.
2.
The work location should be free of debris, and other materials or equipment that could
interfere with the proper installation or operation of this equipment.
3.
Inspect the substrate to which the anchor will be attached. User should inspect for the following
hazards. These hazards include, but are not limited to: rot, cracks, severe weathering, soft or
deteriorated areas in the sheathing, or damage from severe weather. The FS871 must be installed
a minimum of 5’ from any edge.
4.
Installation of the FS871 requires that fasteners penetrate both the substrate and the truss.
Substrate must be a minimum of 3/4” CDX plywood. Fasteners must go through the sheathing and
penetrate the truss a minimum of 1-1/2” (See Figure 6, Dwg.1). Do not install or use the FS871 on
either the truss or sheathing independently. Installation must capture both the sheathing and truss.
5.
To install with nails, position the anchor over previously secured roof sheathing (do not attach directly
to the rafter or truss member). The roof anchor must be placed with the holes lined up directly over a
framing member. Drive the nails into the holes on both plates, through the sheathing, and directly
into framing member. All holes must be used.
6.
Ensure all required holes are filled and nails are fully installed (See Figure 7). DO NOT attach a
lifeline between two or more FS871 anchors (i.e, Horizontal Lifeline System).
7.
PFAS connecting device can now be connected to the FS871 (See Figure 6, Dwg. 2).
8. User must ensure that he/she works within the allowable work zone to avoid excessive loads on the
FS871. Figure 8 indicates the allowable load conditions for the anchor.

The FS871N is installed over and into a roof truss at the peak of the roofline.
2.
The work location should be free of debris, and other materials or equipment that could

3.
Inspect the substrate to which the anchor will be attached. User should inspect for the following
hazards. These hazards include, but are not limited to: rot, cracks, severe weathering, soft or
deteriorated areas in the sheathing, or damage from severe weather. The FS87iN must be installed
a minimum of 5’ from any edge.
