User Notes - Kaiser+Kraft EUROKRAFT pro 40703 Gebrauchs- Und Bedienungsanleitung

• The safety notes provided in the operating instructions and on the product
are to be observed prior to using the ladders. The meaning of the symbols
used is described in more detail in these instructions and in DIN EN 131-3.
• Using ladders as elevated work places is only permitted in cases where, due
EN
to low levels of risk and the short period of use, the use of other, safer work
equipment is disproportionate, and a risk assessment suggests work can be
performed safely this way.
• The handling instruction (DGUV information sheet 208-016) provides notes
on the regulations of occupational safety legislation, the German Ordinance
on Industrial Safety and Health, the rules of employers' liability insurance
associations and the relevant standards which are to be taken into account
when providing and using steps and ladders.
• No liability will be assumed for damage caused by improper use.
• The German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV) requi-
res the repeat inspection of work equipment (ladders) by a person capable
of conducting such inspections. BetrSichV is the German incarnation of EU
directive 2009/104/EEC (Work Equipment Directive).
