3.4 Safety instructions for work on electrical systems carried
out from the scaffold
Prior to carrying out any work on electrical systems and units, ensure that
– the unit is disconnected from the power supply
– the unit is secured against inadvertent switching on
– all parts have been tested for residual voltage
– the unit has been grounded and short-circuited
– adjacent parts that remain powered are properly covered or cordoned off
3.5 Working near electric overhead lines
When working on electric overhead lines, maintain the following safety distances. The-
se safety distances prevent contact with swinging line cables and ensure that workers
using tools, etc. have sufcient room for movement. Safety distances according
to VDE 0105-100.
3.3 Safety instructions for the movement of the scaffold
– The scaffold may only be moved, if it carries no persons and no material.
– The scaffold must be moved by hand. Move it only over firm and level surfaces that
are free of obstacles.

– Do not move the scaffold at speeds that exceed the normal walking speed.
– Move the scaffold only forward and back, and to the left and right, i.e. parallel to the
sides of the frame.
– Ensure that the surface on which the scaffold is moved has the necessary load-
bearing capacity.
– It is forbidden to lift or hoist the scaffold.
– Do not move the scaffold at winds over strength 6 (~ 45 km/h).
– Before using the scaffold, ensure that all necessary safety measures have been ta-
ken and that the scaffold it secured against inadvertent movement, e.g. by the appli-
cation of the brakes.
exceeded by the weight of the tools and materials. The use of lifting equipment is
prohibited.
– The working platform must always be accessed as prescribed in this manual.
– The bridging of gaps between the scaffold and building sections by means of planks
or similar equipment is prohibited. Do not use the scaffold as a climbing facility to
access other structures.
