Loading of guide rollers and pulley blocks.
The stated safety factors relate to tree-felling and skidding works in “normal cases”, i.e. without special risks. Tree-felling and skidding works involving “special risks”, e.g. due to the immediate vicinity of highways, railway lines and buildings, require special safety measures to be taken and the safety factors to be adjusted to the specifications for lifting gear.

7. Puncture a 3rd time after about further 5 cm (or 3-4 strands)
8. Puncture and insert the splice end after further 5 cm (or 3-4 strands) in direction towards the center of the rope.
