2 Safety instructions and handling
$
Avoid folding the sling at the anchor point (e.g. crane hook or fit-
ting) as this may lead to loss of strength and premature wear

.
$
After each lifting operation, the round sling must be repositioned in
both the anchor point and crane hook. Changing contact point increa-
ses service life and safety because tension is applied to the sling evenly.
#
Only trained (authorized) persons may fasten loads.

When choosing and using slings, the weight and fastening

must be considered . The weight,
geometry, surface condition and design features of the load are crucial
criteria for choosing the sling.
#
A sling’s nominal load capacity can change depending on the
fastening method. The change in load capacity is shown by the
load fastening factor (M). A sling’s nominal load capacity is indicated in
the “simple direct” fastening method. The load fastening factor (M) for
the rest of the fastening methods

can be found in this
