Congratulations on your purchase of your AHW Tools telescopic ladder. The unique design features ensure that a AHW Tools ladder is safe and easy to use. Before use, please read the instructions carefully on how to use, manage and maintain your ladder.
Before use

- Do not use a damaged ladder.
- Ensure that you are fit enough to use a ladder. Certain medical conditions or medication, alcohol or drug abuse could make ladder use unsafe.
- Ensure the ladder is suitable for the task.
- Remove any contamination from the ladder such as wet paint, mud, oil or snow.
- For professional use a risk assessment should be carried out respecting the legislation in the country of use.
- Identify any electrical risks in the work area, such as overhead lines or other exposed electrical equipment and do not use the ladder where electrical risks occur.
- Make sure all locking mechanisms for all extended rungs/steps are checked and locked before use.
- The ladder shall be used/stored in temperatures between -20 – +60 degrees °C.
Before use, always check;
- The stiles (uprights) are not bent, bowed, twisted, 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
- Hinges between front and rear sections are not damaged, loose or corroded
- Guide brackets are not missing, damaged, loose or corroded and engage properly on the mating stile
- Rubber feet and end caps are not missing, loose, excessively worn, corroded or damaged
- The entire ladder is free from contaminants (e.g. dirt, mud, paint, oil or grease)
- Locking catches are not damaged or corroded and function correctly
If any of the above checks cannot be fully satisfied, you should NOT use the ladder.
Cleaning
For reasons of safety and functionality, the telescopic product must always be kept clean, particularly the telescopic tubes and rungs. Dirt, filings, paint spots, glue etc. must be cleaned after each use, and before the ladder is closed. If your ladder is soaking wet, fully extend the ladder, wipe off and keep it extended until the ladder is completely dry. Our Maintenance Kit includes both a unique melamine cleaning sponge and a microfiber towel to solve these tasks easily.
Service & maintenance
Any service or repair work must always be carried out by an authorized service
workshop, which determines suitable action in each individual case. Please
contact the producer or distributor for service & maintenance.
If rubber feet or end-caps are getting worn, replace these for optimal safety.
Never use the ladder without rubber feet (slip protection) and end-caps to
prevent dust, metal chips or similar from getting into the tubes. New feet/end
caps can be obtained from retailers. Only original spare parts may be used for
safety reasons.
In case of service or repair contact your retailer to find the location of
your nearest authorized service partner.
Transport & storage
Always carry and transport the ladder completely closed and compacted to
protect the telescopic tubes from any damage that can impair the functionality
of the ladder.
The ladder shall be stored:
- Away from areas where its condition could deteriorate more rapidly (e.g. dampness, excessive heat, exposed to the elements)
- Where it cannot be damaged by vehicles, heavy objects, or contaminants.
- Where it cannot cause a trip hazard or an obstruction.
- Where it cannot be easily used for criminal purposes.
- Permanently positioned (e.g. scaffolding), or/and secured against unauthorized climbing (e.g. by children)
