DON'T place the base of an extension ladder too far away from the building, as it may slip out at the bottom. Set the ladder at a 75-1/2º angle

DON'T over-reach, lean to one side, or try to move a ladder while on it. You could lose your balance or tip the ladder. Climb down and then reposition the ladder closer to your work!
