The ladder may never be brought
into a new position from above.
When the ladder is positioned
you must be aware of the risk of
a collision i.e. with pedestrians,
vehicles or doors. Lock all doors
and windows in the area around
the ladder where you are going
to work, but not emergency exits.
Check your environment for po-
tential hazards, i.e. high voltage
power lines or other exposed
electrical work equipment, be-
fore setting up the ladder and
getting onto it.
Always set up the ladder on its
feet and not on the rungs or steps.
Do not set up the ladder on

contaminated areas are suffi-
ciently clean are not taken.

capacity under any circumstances.
The maximum load capacity of

with both feet on the same step,
keeping your body's core (navel)

Under no circumstances should
you step off the ladder from a
great height without additional
protection. Secure the ladder or
use a suitable piece of equipment
to guarantee its stability.

of the ladder as a platform.
Only use the ladder for simple
and short work.
Do not use the ladder for work
which involves electric voltage.
The ladder is made from a con-
ductive material.
Do not use the ladder outdoors
in bad weather i.e. high winds
or a storm.
Prevent children from playing
with the ladder. Do not leave
a set up ladder unattended.
Keep children away from the
ladder.
Lock all doors and windows in
the area around the ladder where
you are going to work, but not
emergency exits.
