1. Intended use
This step is a mobile piece of equipment that can be used in different locations. It is designed for
performing small-scale jobs at height for which other types of equipment would be inappropriate (see
the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health). This step must only be used as described in
this user manual. All other uses are regarded as inappropriate use. We do not accept any liability for
damage arising from the inappropriate use of the steps. These kinds of steps should primarily be used
indoors only. Any changes made to the steps without the manufacturer's authorisation will void the
warranty and guarantee.

sembled before use. Some steps also come with handrails and/or stabilisers that have to be fitted

information on how to fit them.

5. General safety information

The packaging poses a suffocation risk. Use of these steps is always associated with a risk of falling
off the steps and of the steps tipping over. This can result in injury to persons and damage to objects.
Steps and packaging materials are not toys. All of the work performed with and on the steps must
be performed in such a way as to minimise these risks as much as possible. The steps must only be
used for minor jobs and short periods of time. Do not work on the steps for too long without taking
regular breaks. Tiredness is a hazard and can impact on the safe use of the steps. The steps must be
suitable for the relevant use and must only be used in the specified position. Only use the surfaces
provided for standing on. Do not change or modify the steps or any parts on them. Always make sure
to have a safe handhold and foothold when working on and climbing the steps. Always observe the
national rules and regulations, in particular if using these steps for professional work. Only use ma-
nufacturer-approved accessories.
