Hazard assessment
Remarks on this booklet
▪ This document can be used as general Instructions
for Assembly and Use (Method Statement) or be
incorporated into site-specific Instructions for
Assembly and Use (Method Statement).
▪ The graphics, animations and videos in this doc-
ument or app sometimes depict partially assembled assemblies and may require additional
safety equipment and/or measures to comply
with safety regulations.
The customer must ensure all applicable regulations
are complied with, even if they are not shown or
implied in the graphics, animations and videos provided.
▪ Individual sections contain further safety
instructions and/or special warnings as applicable.
Planning
▪ Provide safe workplaces for those using the form-
work (e.g. for when it is being erected/dismantled,
modified or repositioned etc). It must be possible to
get to and from these workplaces via safe access
routes!
▪ If you are considering any deviation from the
details and instructions given in this booklet, or
any application which goes beyond those
described in the booklet, then revised static calculations must be produced for checking, as well
as supplementary assembly instructions.
▪ The customer is responsible for drawing up, docu-
menting, implementing and continually updating a
hazard assessment at every job-site.
This booklet serves as the basis for the site-specific
hazard assessment, and for the instructions given to
users on how to prepare and utilise the system. It
does not substitute for these, however.
Regulations; industrial safety
▪ All laws, Standards, industrial safety regulations and
other safety rules applying to the utilisation of our
products in the country and/or region in which you
are operating must be observed at all times.
▪ If a person or object falls against, or into, the side-
guard component and/or any of its accessories, the
component affected may only continue in use after it
has been inspected and passed by an expert.

Rules applying during all phases of
the assignment
▪ The customer must ensure that this product is
erected and dismantled, reset and generally used for
its intended purpose in accordance with the applicable laws, standards and rules, under the direction
and supervision of suitably skilled persons.
These persons' mental and physical capacity must
not in any way be impaired by alcohol, medicines or
drugs.
▪ Doka products are technical working appliances
which are intended for industrial / commercial use
only, always in accordance with the respective Doka
User Information booklets or other technical documentation authored by Doka.
▪ The stability and load-bearing capacity of all compo-
nents and units must be ensured during all phases of
the construction work!
▪ Do not step on or apply strain to cantilevers, clo-
sures, etc. until suitable measures to ensure their
stability have been correctly implemented (e.g. by
tie-backs).
▪ Strict attention to and compliance with the functional
instructions, safety instructions and load specifications are required. Non-compliance can cause accidents and severe injury (risk of fatality) and considerable damage to property.
▪ Sources of fire in the vicinity of the formwork are pro-
hibited. Heaters are permissible only when used correctly and situated a correspondingly safe distance
from the formwork.
▪ Customer must give due consideration to any and all
effects of the weather on the equipment and regards
both its use and storage (e.g. slippery surfaces, risk
of slipping, effects of the wind, etc.) and implement
appropriate precautionary measures to secure the
equipment and surrounding areas and to protect
workers.
▪ All connections must be checked at regular intervals
to ensure that they are secure and in full working
order.
In particular threaded connections and wedged connections have to be checked and retightened as necessary in accordance with activity on the jobsite and
especially after out-of-the-ordinary occurrences (e.g.
after a storm).
▪ It is strictly forbidden to weld Doka products – in par-
ticular anchoring/tying components, suspension
components, connector components and castings
etc. – or otherwise subject them to heating.
Welding causes serious change in the microstructure of the materials from which these components
are made. This leads to a dramatic drop in the failure
load, representing a very great risk to safety.
It is permissible to cut individual tie rods to length
with metal cutting discs (introduction of heat at the
end of the rod only), but it is important to ensure that
flying sparks do not heat and thus damage other tie
rods.
The only articles which are allowed to be welded are
those for which the Doka literature expressly points
out that welding is permitted.
Assembly
▪ The equipment/system must be inspected by the
customer before use, to ensure that it is in an acceptable condition. Steps must be taken to exclude components that are damaged, deformed, or weakened
due to wear, corrosion or rot (e.g. fungal decay).
▪ Using our safety and formwork systems together
with those of other manufacturers can create risks
that may lead to injury and damage to property. This
requires separate verification.
▪ The equipment/system must be assembled and
erected in accordance with the applicable laws,
standards and rules by trained customer personnel
whilst maintaining any applicable safety inspections
that may be required.
▪ It is not permitted to modify Doka products; such
modifications constitute a safety risk.
Closing the formwork
▪ Doka products and systems must be set up so that
all loads acting upon them are safely transferred!
Pouring
▪ Do not exceed the permitted fresh-concrete pres-
sures. Over-high pouring rates overload the formwork, cause greater deflection and risk breakage.
Stripping the formwork
▪ Do not strip out the formwork until the concrete has
reached sufficient strength and the person in charge
has given the order for the formwork to be stripped
out!
▪ When stripping out the formwork, never use the
crane to break concrete cohesion. Use suitable tools
such as timber wedges, special pry-bars or system
features such as Framax stripping corners.
▪ When stripping out the formwork, do not endanger
the stability of any part of the structure, or of any
scaffolding, platforms or formwork that is still in
place!

IntroductionUser Information Framed formwork Framax Xlife plus
Transporting, stacking and storing
▪ Observe all country-specific regulations applying to
the handling of formwork and scaffolding. For system
formwork the Doka slinging means stated in this
booklet must be used – this is a mandatory requirement.
If the type of sling is not specified in this document,
the customer must use slinging means that are suitable for the application envisaged and that comply
with the regulations.
▪ When lifting, always make sure that the unit to be
lifted and its individual parts can absorb the forces
that occur.
▪ Remove loose parts or secure them so that they can-
not slip out of position and drop.
▪ All components must be stored safely, following all
the special Doka instructions given in the relevant
sections of this document!
Maintenance
▪ Only original Doka components may be used as
spare parts. Repairs may only be carried out by the
manufacturer or authorised facilities.
Miscellaneous
The weights as stated are averages for new material;
actual weights can differ, depending on material tolerances. Dirt accretions, moisture saturation, etc. can
also affect weight.
We reserve the right to make alterations in the interests
of technical progress.

Panels with centrally arranged form-tie points,
designed to complement Framax Xlife
An extension of the proven Framed formwork system
Framax Xlife, the new Framax Xlife plus panels offer a
fast and reliable way of implementing special requirements with respect to form-tie and joint patterns, with
no need to invest in a whole new formwork system.
Faster working
with a single sided, conical tie rod system
▪ the Tie rod system Framax Xlife plus can be oper-
ated from one side, offering savings of up to one third
in forming and stripping times
▪ shorter forming times as some of the tasks have
been eliminated, e.g. cutting and fitting of jacket
tubes and cones
▪ less time spent searching as the form-tie 'parking'
position is right at the form-tie point
Highly cost-efficient
thanks to both tried-and-tested and new product
features
▪ no material costs associated with form-tie points,
e.g. for wearing parts of the form-tie sleeve, jacket
tubes and cones
▪ wide spacing between form-ties (1.35 m apart)
saves up to twelve per cent of the costs for form-tie
points and finishing work on form-tie holes
▪ high numbers of repeat uses made possible by
excellent manufacturing quality and extra-durable
Xlife sheets
▪ steel frames are hot-dip galvanised, both inside and
out, for long lifespan
▪ form ties are opened and closed using a ratchet for
minimal wear-and-tear on equipment
Easy handling and planning
thanks to the consistent system logic
▪ the small number of additional panel types ensures
optimum material use and effective logistics
▪ the extra-large square panel enables vertical stack-
ing with standard horizontal panels, without a multitude of additional small panels
▪ errors in form-tie setting are eliminated since every
single form-tie point is used
Harmonic architectural surfaces
with regular form-tie and joint patterns
▪ consistent joint pattern thanks to matching panel for-
mats, even when combining upright and horizontal
panels
▪ no screw imprints on the concrete because the form-
work sheet is fixed from the rear
▪ centrally arranged form-tie points resulting in sym-
metrical form-tie patterns
▪ aesthetically pleasing form-tie points thanks to uni-
form conical imprints

Instructions for assembly and use for room-high formwork
The sequence shown here is based on a straight wall.
However, you should always start to form from the corner outwards.
Ladders must be located so as to create viable 'traffic
routes' in the horizontal. (On a straight wall, for example, one ladder on the first element and another on the
last).
Transporting / handling the panels
➤ For offloading panels from a truck, or lifting them on-
site a stack at a time, use the Framax transport gear
(see 'Transporting, stacking and storing').
➤ To separate the panels, use Framax transport bolts
and the Doka 4-part chain 3.20m (see 'Transporting,
stacking and storing').
Pre-assembly
➤ Pre-assemble elements face-down on an assembly
bench (see 'Inter-panel connections').
➤ With the gang-form still flat, mount panel struts to it
(see 'Plumbing accessories').
➤ Mount the Ladder system XS (see 'Ladder system').
➤ Raise the gang-form by crane.
➤ Spray the formwork sheet with release agent (see
the section headed 'Cleaning and care of your equipment').
➤ Fly the gang-form to its new location.
CAUTION
Never use a sledge-hammer to plumb and align
the panels!
This would damage the profiles of the gangs.
➤ Use only proper plumbing tools (e.g. a spe-
cial pry-bar) that cannot cause any damage.
➤ Fix the panel struts firmly to the ground (see the sec-
tion headed 'Plumbing accessories').
98112-227-01
Closing the formwork
➤ Attach the lifting chain to the Framax lifting hook (see
the section headed 'Lifting by crane' and the Operating Instructions for the 'Framax lifting hook').
Max. load:
▪ Spread angle β up to 30°:
1000 kg (2200 lbs) / Framax lifting hook
▪ Spread angle β up to 7.5°:
1500 kg (3300 lbs) / Framax lifting hook
Framax lifting hooks with the rated load-bearing
capacity of max. 1000 kg (2200 lbs) also comply with
the requirements for a load bearing capacity of
1500 kg (3300 lbs) at a spread angle β ≤ 7.5°.
98112-227-03
The gang-form is now stable and can be plumbed
and aligned exactly, with no need for the crane.
➤ Detach the gang-form from the crane. The crew can
reach the slinging points by standing on a step stool.
➤ Slot the pouring platform into place (see the section
headed 'Pouring platforms').

➤ Take out the form ties and undo the connectors to
the adjacent panels.
In order to speed up operations when lifting
and repositioning by crane, most of the form
ties can be taken out in advance.
Important!
There must be at least as many form ties left in
place as are needed to keep the panel safely
in the upright.
WARNING
The formwork tends to adhere to the concrete.
When stripping the formwork, do not try to
break concrete cohesion using the crane!
Risk of crane overload.
➤ Use suitable tools such as timber wedges or
a special pry-bar to detach the formwork
from the concrete.
➤ Lift the gang-form away and to its next location.
If the gang-form is 'parked' prior to its next use, it
must have sufficient stability (see the section headed
'Plumbing accessories').
Gang-forms with only one panel strut must not be
'parked' upright, but placed face-down.
➤ Clean residual concrete off the formwork sheet (see
the section headed ‘Cleaning and care’).
➤ Where the gang-form has panel struts and a pouring
platform attached to it, first attach this gang-form to
the crane, and only then detach the floor anchorages

The continuous hardware slot running around the
inside of the frame profile means that panels can be
fastened together at any point desired. This allows
adjacent panels to be staggered in height, steplessly.

Self-aligning inter-panel connections
and closures
with Framax multi function clamp
Framax multi function clamp:
Permitted tensile force: 15.0 kN
Permitted shear force: 9.0 kN
Permitted moment: 0.9 kNm
Values apply only when mounted on profile.
Particularly when panels are stacked in the vertical, the
fact that the clamp bears directly on the profiles means
that there is often no need for any extra bracing of the
panels with universal walings.

Bracing gang-forms
NOTICE
If more than two single form-tie panels are
used next to each other, bracing with a uni-
versal waling will be required.
Single form-tie panels:
▪ Position the universal walings in such a way that at
most two single form-tie panels without bracing are placed side by side.
▪ Always position the universal walings in the bot-
tom waling profile.
▪ Max. closure width between the single form-tie
panels: 15 cm with Framax multi function clamp

Using additional universal walings gives gang-forms
better rigidity, especially in higher vertically stacked configurations. This makes it possible to pick up and
set down large gang-forms by crane without any problems. The additional universal walings are also useful
for transferring the loads from platforms.
Note:
Instead of the universal waling, it is also possible to use
a Multi-purpose waling WS10 Top50.

Framax stripping corner I
With the Stripping corner I, the entire shaft formwork
unit is detached from the wall, in one piece, before
being lifted and reset by crane.
Product features:
▪ No negative impression in the concrete.
▪ Formwork set-up and stripping function integrated in
the inside corner (no need for crane – uses stripping
spindles).
▪ Entire shaft formwork unit is lifted and reset in one
piece (with lifting hooks and four-part lifting chain).
Two different types of stripping spindle can be used

For more information, see the Calculation
Guide 'Wind loads to the Eurocodes', or consult your Doka technician!
Note:
Every gang-form must be supported by at least 2
plumbing accessories.
Example: Where the formwork height is 7.20 m, the following are needed for every 5.40 m wide gang-form:
▪ 2 panel struts 340
▪ 4 panel struts 540
9 -2 -08112 94 2
Plumbing accessories brace the formwork against wind
loads and make it easier to plumb and align.
WARNING
Risk of the formwork tipping over!
➤ Formwork panels must be held stable in
every phase of construction work!
➤ Observe all applicable safety rules!
➤ If high wind speeds are likely, and when
work finishes for the day or before prolonged
work-breaks, always take extra precautions
to fix the formwork in place.
Suitable precautions:
- set up the opposing formwork
- place the formwork against a wall
- anchor the formwork to the ground (e.g.
with Framax floor fixing plates)

When lifting gang-forms together with opposing
guard-rails assembled from the Edge protection
system XP, remember the following points:
▪ The guard rails must be in the vertical position when
the gang-form is raised or laid down.
▪ Elastic deformation of the guard rails may occur
because the 4-part chain is resting against the protective grating or guard-rail boards while the gangform is being lifted.
▪ When a gang-form is lifted, repositioned or laid
down, the 4-part chain must not be led around the
protective grating or the guard-rail board.
