• Use non-conductive ladders for live electrical
work.
• Do not use the ladder outside in adverse wea-
ther conditions, such as strong wind.
• Take precautions against children playing on
the ladder.
• Secure doors (not fire exits) and windows
where possible in the work area.
• Face the ladder when ascending and descen-
ding.
• Keep a secure grip on the ladder when as-
cending and descending.
• Wear suitable footwear when climbing a lad-
der.
• Avoid excessive side loadings e.g. drilling
brick and concrete.
• Do not spend long periods on a ladder wit-
hout regular breaks (tiredness is a risk).
• Leaning ladders used for access to a higher
level should be extended at least 1 m above
the landing point.
• Equipment carried while using a ladder
should be light and easy to handle.
• Maintain a handhold whilst working from a
ladder or take additional safety precautions
if you cannot.
Your combi ladder is a precision tool. Treat it
with care and it will retain its unique properties.
Always keep the combi ladder clean, particular-
ly the telescopic tubes.
The combi ladder must not be used without rub-
ber feet (slip protection) and end caps. The end
caps at the top of the ladder prevent dust, metal
chips or similar from getting into the telescopic
tubes and thus impairing the function of the lad-
der. The rubber feet and end caps of the ladder
are parts that eventually wear out and can be
obtained from retailers. Replace the caps when
they start to wear.
Any repair work must always be carried out by
an authorised service workshop. Don’t use the
ladder if it needs to be repaired. Contact the
retailer.
NB! If the instruction decal on the lad-
der begins to wear and is difficult to
read, you should order a new one.
See the address at the back of the ins-
tructions or contact your local retailer.
Before use check that
• the stiles (uprights) are not bent, bowed, twis-
ted, dented, cracked or corroded
• the telescopic tubes around the fixing points
for other components are in good condition
• fixings (usually rivets, screws or bolts) are not
missing, loose, or corroded
• rungs are not missing, loose, excessively
worn, corroded or damaged
• rubber feet and end caps are not missing,
loose, excessively worn, corroded or dama-
ged
• the entire ladder is free from contaminants
(e.g. dirt, mud, paint, oil or grease)
• locking catches are not damaged or corro-
ded and function correctly.
CAUTION! If any of the above checks
cannot be fully satisfied you should
NOT use the ladder.
