Do not use conductive ladders for when working under electric voltage is unavoidable. When positioning the ladder take into account risk of collision with the lad- der e.g. from pedestrians, vehicles or doors. Secure doors (not fire exits) and windows where possible in the work area. Lean straight ladders against an even and stable surface and secure it prior to use, e.g. by fixing or using a suita- ble means to secure stability. Only reposition the ladder from the ground. Avoid excessive lateral loads, e.g. while drilling in brick or concrete walls. Ladder shall be stood on its feet, not the rungs or steps. Safety instructions for using the ladder

CAUTION! RISK OF CRUSHI

NG! Take particular care when opening or closing the ladder

. Keep your distance from moving parts and the safety devices. Attaching the stabilisers ATTENTION! Never use the ladder

without the stabilisers attached

at the ends of the ladder

Ensure that the holes

in the stabi- liser and the ladder end align with one another. Guide four bolts

(included) through the holes

and nut on each bolt

(see Fig. D). ATTENTION! Check every time be- fore loading the ladder

that the stabilisers

are correctly attached. Operating the hinge system Before each use, check that all the hinges

are properly engaged. The hinges

lying parallel to one an- other must always be engaged at the same setting. Unlock the hinges

by pulling the unlocking lever

backwards (see Fig. E). Articulate the desired section of the ladder at the hinges

. The hinges engage automatically in the next po- sition. Unlock the hinges

again if you would like to articulate the ladder further. ATTENTION! The hinges

engage with an audible click. However, you should always check that the safety indicator

shows “unlocked” (see Fig. F).22 GB/IE Using the working platforms Do not use the ladder without a working platform

when you are carrying out an activity that requires a working platform

(see Fig. B). Do not use a working platform

for ladder positions that are not de- signed to have working platforms fit- ted (see Fig. A, C). Failure to observe this advice when using the product can lead to severe injury and / or damage to the product. Use the supplied working platforms

only. Use the working platforms

only with the antislip profile

on the end of the working platforms

over the last rung of the ladder section and check that the other end of the working plat- form

also rests on a rung in a similar manner. The safety hooks

prevent the working platforms

from sliding out of position. If neces- sary press the working platform lightly downwards to ensure the working platform

rests correctly on the ladder. Check that the working platform

rests correctly on the ladder before y

step on or load the working platform. When using the product on a substrate with different levels (e.g. steps), ensure that the working platform

horizontal. Do not attempt to bring the working platform to the horizon- tal by placing an object beneath it. Check before stepping on to a work- ing platform

that it is not slip- pery. Check that there are no objects on the working platform
