● Safety advice

Please consider the following safety information before using the ladder:

a) Use the ladder only if your health permits it. Some health conditions, medicine, alcohol or drug abuse may impair your safety when using the ladder.
b) In order to avoid damage, make sure that the ladder is sufficiently fixed / secured when transporting it on a roof rack or in a lorry.
c) Check the ladder for condition and functioning of all parts after delivery and before the first use.
d) Check the ladder for damage and safety at the beginning of each working day on which the ladder is used.
e) Regular checks are required for professional usage.
f) Make sure the ladder is suited for the specific purpose.
g) Do not use a damaged ladder.
h) Remove all dirt from the ladder, e.g. wet paint, dirt, oil or snow.
i) Prior to using a ladder for work, evaluate the risks considering the legal regulations of the country of use.

Positioning and erecting of the ladder

- Positioning and erecting of the ladder

a) Make sure the ladder is erected in the proper position, e.g. correct angle for leaning ladders (leaning ratio 1:4), rungs or steps in horizontal position and complete opening of a stepladder.
b) If applicable, secure the locking mechanisms 5, 8 completely before using the ladder.
c) Erect the ladder on even, level and stable ground.
d) Lean straight ladders against an even and stable surface and secure it prior to use, e.g. by fixing or using a suitable means to secure stability.
e) Only reposition the ladder from the ground.
f) Consider the risk of collision, e.g. with pedestrians, vehicles or doors when positioning the ladder. Lock the doors (but no emergency exits) and windows in the working area, if possible.
g) Assess all risks by electrical equipment in the working area, e.g. high voltage overhead lines or other electrical equipment.
h) Put the ladder on its feet, not on the steps or rungs.
i) Put the ladder only on stable surfaces (not on ice, slippery surfaces or very dirty surfaces). Take measures to prevent the ladder from slipping or make sure that dirty surfaces are sufficiently cleaned.

Erecting: Straight/leaning ladder

1. Spread the ladder parts - the hinges will lock automatically in the next position.
2. Unlock again for further spreading (Fig. a).
3. Check the position of the pin: 0 = unlocked, C = engaged (see Fig. a).
4. Cover the hinges during dirty work.

Check if the hinges are properly engaged before mounting the ladder (pin position »C«, see Fig. a).

● Using the ladder

a) Do not exceed the maximum load of the specific ladder type.

b) Do not lean off too far. Ensure that your belt buckle (navel) remains between the rails and that booth feet are standing on the same step / rung.

c) Do not step off a leaning ladder at great height without additional safety measures. Tie the ladder or use a suitable ladder-stability device.

d) Do not use stepladders to climb to another working platform.

e) Do not stand on the upper three steps / rungs of a leaning ladder.

f) Do not stand on the upper two steps / rungs of a stepladder without platform or holding device for hands or knees.

g) Do not stand on the upper four steps / rungs of a stepladder with attached extension ladder.

h) Use ladders only for short and easy tasks.

i) Use non-conducting ladders for unavoidable work with live equipment.

j) Do not use the ladder outdoors under adverse weather conditions, e.g. strong wind.

k) Take precautions that children do not play on the ladder.

I) Lock the doors (but no emergency exits) and windows in the working area, if possible.

m) Climb up or down facing towards the ladder.

n) Hold onto the ladder while climbing up or down.

o) Do not use the ladder as bridge.

p) Wear suitable shoes when climbing on a ladder.

q) Avoid excessive lateral loads, e.g. while drilling in brick or concrete walls.

r) Do not stay on the ladder for excessive periods of time without break (fatigue is dangerous).

s) In order to access a higher working level, slide the leaning ladder at least 1 m beyond the supporting point.

t) Make sure that objects to be carried on the ladder are not too heavy but can be easily handled.

u) Avoid work that causes lateral loads on step-ladders, e.g. drilling in solid materials (brick wall, concrete).

v) Hold onto the ladder with one hand while working off a ladder or, if this is impossible, take additional precautions.

w) On stairs, use stepladders with attached extension only if the rungs are on the same height or the ladder is standing horizontally, otherwise the ladder can tilt over.

x) Do not use the ladder as a scaffold.

y) Never use a stepladder as leaning ladder.

z) Do not climb onto the horizontal part of the ladder when using the ladder as attic ladder.
