Safety
− Do not use the ladder as a leaning ladder.
− DANGER! METAL CONDUCTS ELECTRICITY! Do not let the
ladder of any material come in contact with live electrical
wires.
− Check to make sure that there are no lines or pipes,
unlocked windows, doors and buttresses in the
surroundings before you climb onto the ladder.
− Check the surroundings for sources of danger such as
exposed high-voltage lines or other electrical equipment
before you set up the ladder and climb onto it.
− Always set all four feet on firm level surface.
− Make sure that the ladder has been set up properly before
you climb on it. The platform must be securely fitted on
the top lateral brace.
− To the extent possible, keep doors and windows in the
work area locked while you are on the ladder providing
they are not emergency exits.
− Do not use the ladder if one or more non-slip rubber caps
for the support feet are missing or visibly damaged.
− Face the ladder when climbing up or down. Keep body
centered between the rails.
− Maintain a firm grip. Use both hands when climbing.
− Do not overreach, move the ladder when needed. Both
feet should always be firmly positioned on the same tread.
− Climb the ladder one tread at a time and do not skip
multiple treads.
− Do not slide down the rails.
− If necessary, secure the stability of the ladder by additional
measures.
− If you are working at an elevated height, take extra steps
to further secure the ladder.
