6. Safety instructions

6.1 General safety information

Possible risks must be taken into account
when using the staircase platform.
There is a risk of falling from the
staircase platform or that the staircase
platform slips off; there is also the
risk of falling from a hinged step or
a stepladder that are located on the
staircase platform or that the hinged
step or the step ladder falls over; in such
situations, persons can be injured and
objects damaged.
There is also a risk of injury by pinching
and shearing points when handling the
staircase platform.
There is a risk of a hand injury because
fingers can be pinched.
All jobs with and on the staircase
platform should therefore be carried out
in such a way that these risks are kept as
low as possible.
The staircase platform should only be used for light jobs of
short duration. Do not work on the staircase platform for long
periods without regular breaks (fatigue jeopardises safe use).
The staircase platform must be suited for the particular use
and may only be used in the prescribed set-up position. The
staircase platform or parts of the staircase platform must not
be modified.
Always pay attention to a firm grip:
• When entering the staircase platform,
• When climbing up and down on the stepladder or
hinged step
• For all work on the staircase platform.
Do not move staircase platform while using.
National valid regulations must by all means be complied
with – especially with professional use.

Does your health permit you to use the staircase platform
