- Ensure rope does not rub on sharp objects. Due to it's thin nature, it can be more susceptible to cutting and breaking.
- Ensure the rope is spliced properly. While this rope is no different to splicing any other Dyneema, which is generally easy, as the ropes diameter is so tiny it can be easy to splice incorrectly. Additional caution should be taken when splicing Kiteline.
