electrical components.
• The stepladder must stand on its feet and
not rest on a step.
• Do not put the stepladder on slippery
surfaces (for example, ice, shiny surfaces
or heavily soiled surfaces) unless
additional measures are taken to prevent
it from slipping.
• Do not exceed the maximum load for the
stepladder.
• Do not overreach. The user must keep the
belt buckle (navel) inside the side rails
and both feet on the same step when
working.
• Do not go on the 4 top steps on a standing
ladder with an extension ladder above.
• Do not get off the stepladder at a higher
level without additional safety measures,
for example a suitable device to improve
stability.
• Do not use standalone ladders to get to
another level.
• Do not stand on the top three steps of a
lean-to ladder.
• Do not stand on the top two steps of a
stepladder without a platform and handrail.
• Stepladders use to access a higher level
must extend at least 1 metre past the
stepping off point.
• Stepladders must only be used for simple
jobs for short periods.
• Do not use the stepladder outdoors in bad
weather, for example in strong wind.
• Take precautions to prevent children
playing on the stepladder.
• Face the stepladder when climbing up or
down the steps.
• Keep a firm grip on the steps when
climbing up or down the stepladder.
• Do not use the stepladder as a footbridge.
• Wear suitable footwear when climbing on
a stepladder.
• Avoid work on stepladders that involves
16
lateral tensions, for example drilling to the
side in solid material (brick or concrete).
Do not spend a long time on the
stepladder without frequent breaks
(tiredness is a risk factor).
• If the stepladder is used as a lean-to
ladder to reach up to a higher level it
must reach up to a least one metre over
the contact point.
• Equipment carried up on a stepladder
should be lightweight and easy to handle.
Do not carry or use bulky and/or heavy
objects on the stepladder.
• Always keep a firm grip with at least one
hand when working on the stepladder, or
if this is not possible take additional safety
precautions.

MAINTENANCE

• Check the parts on the stepladder and the
hinges at regular intervals. Use low
viscosity oil when it is cold. Lubricate the
hinges at regular intervals, but be careful
not to drip oil on the steps or side rails.
• Stepladders must be stored where they
are not exposed to rain or snow, or direct
sunlight.
