ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES.
To lift a load, you will need to decide which anchoring accessories you will use. Refer to section

KEEP IN MIND THAT YOUR SET-UP IS ONLY AS RESISTANT AS THE
WEAKEST LINK. THIS IS WHY IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO USE THE ADEQUATE
ACCESSORIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE JOB TO BE DONE. IN THIS CASE (LIFTING),
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO HAVE A 10 TO 1 SAFETY FACTOR FOR ALL ACCESSORIES.
Refer to the chart in section 3.4.2.1 for the correct number of wraps of rope to use.
