WARNING
Danger of severe injuries!
In event of incorrect use or handling of the ladder,
there are risks that may lead to severe injuries or even
to death.
• There is inherently a risk of falling when using
the ladder. All work with and on the ladder should
therefore be carried out in such a way that a risk of
falling is kept as low as possible.
• When using the ladder, there is also the risk of
tipping over. Individuals can be injured and objects
damaged due to the ladder tipping over. All work
with and on the ladder should therefore be carried
out in such a way that a risk of tipping over is kept
as low as possible.

necessary and what is not allowed for a safe use of
a ladder in order to avoid accidents e.g. by falling
from the ladder.

"Not allowed" is indicated by an X [
