Fully open the 
stepladder and firmly 
lock both spreaders.
Never climb a closed 
stepladder. It may 
slip out from under 
you.
If you need to 
adjust the ladder
throughout the 
course of the job,
you should remove 
your tools or use a 
proper accessory 
to secure them in 
place. 
Werner tops are built 
to handle a variety 
of tools
for this purpose.
Never stand or 
sit on a pail shelf.
It is not designed to 
carry your weight. 
The pail shelf may 
break or the ladder 
could tip.
Don’t stand or sit 
on a stepladder top. 
You could easily lose 
your balance or tip 
the ladder. Ladder 
tops warn users not 
to stand or sit on 
them.
Don’t climb on 
the back of a 
single sided 
stepladder. It is not 
designed to carry 
a person’s weight. 
Doing so can 
damage the 
ladder or result 
in an injury.
