How to use the telescopic ladder?

A telescopic ladder is a convenient tool, but using it safely is crucial. Here are the steps on how to use a telescopic ladder:

1. Choose the right location: Select a flat and stable surface where you want to place the ladder. Clear any obstacles or debris that might cause instability.
   For instance, do not place it on uneven ground or near water or electrical sources.

2. Extend the ladder: Unlock the telescopic sections one by one. Make sure each section is fully extended and locked in place securely.
   Example: If the ladder has three sections, extend each section until they click into position.

3. Position the ladder correctly: Lean the ladder against the surface you need to access at the appropriate angle. Generally, the base of the ladder should be one-fourth of the working height away from the wall.
   For example, if you are accessing a height of 8 meters, the base of the ladder should be 2 meters away from the wall.

4. Secure the ladder: Make sure the feet of the ladder are firmly in contact with the ground. If the surface is slippery, use non-slip pads or secure the ladder with ropes or weights.

5. Test the stability: Before climbing, give the ladder a gentle shake to ensure it is stable and all locks are engaged.

6. Climb the ladder safely: Face the ladder and keep both hands on the rungs while climbing. Do not carry heavy or bulky items that might affect your balance.

7. Work safely at the top: Once at the top, do not overreach. Keep your body centered and avoid sudden movements.

Remember, always follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines when using a telescopic ladder.
