INTENDED USE
This Ladder is designed and intended for domestic
use, as a climbing aid in the home and garden and for
hobbies.
This ladder is not a toy. Children should be supervised
at all times to ensure they do not play with the ladder
system.
Only use the ladder system as described in these
instructions. Any other use is deemed improper and may
result in damage to property, personal injury or even
death.
BEFORE USE
Ensure that you are fit enough to use a ladder. Certain
medical conditions (including pregnancy) or medication,
alcohol or drug abuse could make ladder use unsafe.
Check with your doctor before using the ladder.
Wear tight-fitting clothing, remove jewellery and tie long
hair back when using the ladder.
Always wear suitable footwear when climbing a ladder;
flat, dry, treaded, shoes with securely tied laces are
considered appropriate footwear.
Ensure that the surface you will rest the ladder against
is capable of supporting the combined weight of the
ladder, operator and any carried objects.
Doors (but not fire doors or similar), windows and areas
of entry/exit should be secured when using the ladder.
All distractions should be reasonably avoided. Always
set up the Step Ladder so that it is always freely
accessible.
When transporting ladders on roof bars or in a truck,
ensure they are suitably placed and secured to prevent
damage.
Inspect the ladder upon delivery and before first use
to confirm condition and operation of all parts. Use the
checklist provided in the 'Before Use: Risk Assessment'
section of this manual.
Visually check that the ladder is not damaged and is
safe to use at the start of each working day when the
ladder is to be used.
Remove any contamination from the ladder, such as wet
paint, mud, oil or snow.
For professional users, regular periodic inspection is
required.
Before using a ladder at work, a risk assessment should
be carried out respecting the legislation in the country
of use.
Ensure the ladder is suitable for the task. If unsure,
contact a qualified person for guidance.
Do not use a damaged or otherwise unsuitable ladder.
POSITIONING AND ERECTING THE LADDER
Ensure the ladder is fully collapsed, all locks are se-
cured, and the ladder is free from contaminants before
moving to the area of work. Only erect and close in a
safe work area. Do not move the ladder when erect.
Only position and use the ladder on an even, level and
unmoveable base.
When positioning the ladder, take into account risk of
collision with the ladder e.g. from pedestrians, vehicles
or doors. Secure doors (not fire exits) and windows
where possible in the area.
Identify any electrical risks in the work area, such as
overhead lines or other exposed electrical equipment.
This ladder does not offer insulation or protection from
electrical hazards.
The ladder shall be only be positioned flat on its feet,
not the rungs or steps.
Never position or use the ladder on slippery surfaces
(such as ice, shiny surfaces or significantly contaminat-
ed solid surfaces) unless additional effective measures
