BLOCKSTOP BS IKA 1.8
Retractable type fall arrester
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
INTENDED USE
The retractable type fall arrester BLOCKSTOP
BS IKA . is a PPE to prevent persons working at
heights (e.g. on roofs, ladders, scaffolds or in
shafts) from falling and is worn in combination
with a full body harness acc. to EN . This
equipment may only be used as intended.
Retractable type fall arresters may not be worn
when working above bulk goods or other mate-
rials into which it is possible to sink.
Users of this equipment must be familiar with
handling personal fall protective equipment
and the risks of working at heights.
All other uses are deemed improper. The
company BORNACK will not be liable for any
ensuing damages. The user bears the sole risk.
EQUIPMENT
• High-quality aluminium casing

Dyneema with safety hooks
USE
Securing and arresting persons working in
cherry picker work cages.
GENERAL INFORMATION
• Use: max. person.

BEFORE USING
Carry out a function test and visual
inspection every time before use.
• The personal protective equipment (PPE) may
no longer be used even in the case of very
minor faults.
• In case of damage or malfunctions, the device
must be withdrawn and returned to the
manufacturer for inspection. Faulty PPE may
only be tested and serviced in a workshop
authorised by BORNACK.
VISUAL INSPECTION
• Check that the device is complete. Are all
parts in place?
• Check for damage.
• Are all seams undamaged?
• Do textile components show signs of visible
damage or can damage be felt?
• Fall indicator undamaged?
• Last expert inspection is not longer than
year ago.
• Identification is legible.
FUNCTION TEST
• Is the karabiner fastener and lock fully
functional?
• HSG blocks when jerked out.
• Band winds up automatically. No slack rope is
created.

BLOCKSTOP BS IKA 1.8 IN USE
VERTICAL USE
CAUTION RISK TO LIFE:
If this PPE is used as an arresting system (free
fall is possible), a full body harness that con-
forms to EN must always be used.
A Anchor points must be adequately strong,
e.g. in compliance with EN .
CAUTION:
If the retractable type fall arrester is used on an
anchor point of Class C acc. to DIN EN with
a horizontal moving guide, the deflection of the
anchor equipment also needs to be taken into
account when determining the necessary clear
height below the user. Please refer to the infor-
mation in the user manual of the anchor device.
B The device must be positioned as vertically as
possible above the head of the secured
person to rule out swinging in case of a fall.
The attachment of the device must guaran-
tee that the straps can still be adjusted if
necessary.
C The clear height below the user must be m
if attached above the user.
D D After attaching the device to the anchor
point, the end of the retractable lanyard
(safety karabiner) of the BLOCKSTOP BS IKA
. must be hooked into the rear D-ring of the
full body harness or at the end of the rear
D-ring extension.
CAUTION:
If sand and dirt penetrate the device, this can
impair its function and cause damage.
CAUTION:
Steps should be taken to ensure that no trans-
verse loads are exerted onto the swivel anchor
D-ring, e.g. via an edge.

HORIZONTAL USE
The retractable type fall arrester BLOCKSTOP BS
IKA . has also been tested successfully for
horizontal use and a resulting simulated fall
over the edge. The edge radius in the test was
r=.mm. This test confirmed that the retracta-
ble type fall arrester BLOCKSTOP BS IKA . is
suitable for use over similar edges, e.g. edges on
rolled steel profiles, wooden benches or
panelled rounded attics.
Regardless of this test, the following must
always be taken into account, if used horizon-
tally or at a gradient where there is a risk of f
alling over an edge.
CAUTION RISK TO LIFE:
If this PPE is used as an arresting system (free
fall is possible), a full body harness that
conforms to EN must always be used.
A Carry out a risk assessment:
• Is the fall edge > .mm?
• Is the edge free of burr?
• If this is not the case, precautions should be
taken:
• Use a restraint system to rule out the possi-
bility of a fall.
• Attach suitable edge protection.
B B Anchor points must be adequately strong,
e.g. in compliance with EN .
C C The anchor point must lie above the area
where the user is standing.
D D The deflection on the edge must be at least
°.

E An adequate clearance of at least .m
below the edge should be provided.
F To prevent a swinging fall, the work areas or
lateral movements from the central axis to
both sides should be restricted to max .m
respectively. In other cases, no single anchor
points should be used, instead e.g. anchor
devices of Class C (only if approved for joint
use) or Class D acc. to DIN EN should be
used.
Note:
If the retractable type fall arrester is used
on an anchor device acc. to DIN EN with
horizontal guide, the deflection of the anchor
device also needs to be taken into account
when determining the necessary clear height
below the user. To this end, please observe the
information in the user manual of the anchor
device.
Note:
In the event of a fall over an edge, there is a
risk of injury during arresting, if the user colli-
des with parts of the building or construction.
Special rescue measures must be defined and
practiced for the event of a fall over an edge.

USE IN WORK CAGES ON ELEVATED WORK
PLATFORMS
The retractable type fall arrester BLOCKSTOP
BS IKA . serves to protect the user against
falls when ejected (catapult-whiplash
effect) in combination with a full body
harness EN in work cages on elevated
work platforms equipped with suitable
anchor points.
In principle, injuries to the user e.g. impact
against the work cage or the boom of the
elevated work platform cannot be ruled out
when using the BLOCKSTOP BS IKA ..
CAUTION:
Observe the user manual of the elevated work
platform.
A Anchor points must be adequately strong,
min. kN, and must be located at least cm
below the handrail. If higher anchor points
are used, the safety of the retractable type
fall arrester is no longer guaranteed.
CAUTION RISK TO LIFE
If this personal protective equipment is used as
an arresting system (free fall possible), a full
body harness that complies to EN must al-
ways be worn.
B Attach the HSG BLOCKSTOP BS IKA . with
suitable connection elements (L:Max.mm)
acc. to EN to the anchor point of the work
cage.
CAUTION:
Steps should be taken to ensure that no trans-
verse loads are exerted onto the swivel anchor
D-ring.
C Attach the safety karabiners of the BLOCKSTOP
BS IKA . to the rear D-ring of the full body
harness or on the end of the rear D-ring exten-
sion (maximum allowed length = cm). It is
prohibited to use an extension in combination
with the sternal D-ring of the full body har-
ness.

D When selecting the D-ring on the full body
harness and the anchor point in the work
cage, ensure that the shortest connection
between the D-ring and anchor point is
selected. It is not permitted to modify the
system.
E When moving the elevated work platform,
the connection between an anchor point at
the front near the control panel (max. knee
height or lower) and the sternal D-ring of the
full body harness must be selected. Optio-
nally, an anchor point at the rear and the rear
D-ring on the full body harness without an
extension can be selected.
F To ensure that the user does not collide with
the ground or other parts in the vicinity if
ejected, the clearance below the work cage if
an extension is used (max. allowed length
. m) must be m.
