h) The ladder must rest on its support feet and
not on steps or rungs.

surfaces (such as ice, shiny surfaces or solid
contaminated surfaces) unless extra effective
measures have been taken to prevent slipping
or the contaminated surfaces have been
cleaned well.
IMPORTANT! The manufacturer is not
liable for any direct and/or indirect damage
caused by incorrect installations.
When choosing how to use the appliance it is
best to
consider:
- that the environment is not in an aggressive or
corrosive atmosphere.
- that there should be a large operational area
around the appliance free from obstacles.
- that free access to the work area must be
prevented.
- that the area is well lit.
- that the planned position is not damp and is
protected from the elements.
4) Using the ladder
a) Use the ladder according to these
instructions, considering the environmental
conditions and the operation to be performed.
The use of the ladder for operations other than
those for which it is intended may cause
dangerous situations.
b) Store the unused ladder out of reach of
children and do not allow it to be used by
any unskilled people or who are not aware
of these instructions. The ladder is dangerous
if used by unskilled persons.
c) Do not exceed the maximum capacity
indicated. For safe use and so as not to
overload the ladder consider: its weight, what
it supports and the load of the work performed.
d) It is absolutely forbidden for more than one
person to climb the ladder.
e) Do not lose your balance, keep your waist
between the two sides (pos. 3 fig. A), and
both feet on the rung for the whole operation.
f) Make sure that the ladder is stable when
climbing down and up.
g) Do not use the ladder to access another
level.
h) Never stand on the last two rungs of a ladder
without a platform and lifeline (pos. 1 fig. A).
i) The ladder must be used for small and short
jobs.
l) Do not use this ladder to perform electric
jobs!
m) Do not use the ladder outside in bad
weather conditions such as rain and strong
wind.
n) The ladder is not a toy: keep it out of reach
of children and take the necessary precautions
so that they do not use it as a toy.
o) Lock doors (not fire doors) and windows in
the place where the ladder is used in order to
prevent danger caused by accidental opening
by other people or the wind.
p) Climb up and down with the ladder facing
you; it is absolutely forbidden to climb up and
down with your back to the ladder.
q) Grip tightly onto the ladder while climbing
up and down.
r) Do not use the ladder as a bridge.
s) Wear suitable shoes for using the ladder.
t) Avoid excessive lateral loads; for example
drilling bricks and concrete.
u) Do not stay on the ladder for extended
periods without a break. Tiredness is a risk
and can cause serious personal injuries.
v) Equipment and/or appliances used to
perform a job on the ladder must be light and
manageable. Hold onto the ladder with one
hand during use and while performing a job if it
is not possible to take other safety precautions.
z) When using the ladder do not perform
operations or jobs that make it unstable.
5) Maintenance, repair and storage
a) Carry out the required maintenance. Check
the operation, breakage, conditions of the
structure and the mobile parts and any
component that could affect the operation of
the ladder. Do not use a damaged ladder! If
the ladder is damaged it must be replaced.
Numerous accidents are actually caused by
improper maintenance.
b) Do not modify the ladder. Making holes
in the ladder, taking off, replacing or adding
components not included in these instructions
is prohibited and causes the warranty to
become null and void.
c) Do not carry out any DIY repairs such as:
welding, joints with clamps, replacements
with non-original parts, use of unsuitable
accessories, etc. In these conditions safe
operation is no longer guaranteed and serious
accidents can occur.
