Product Overview
The Werner 6210 is a 10-foot fiberglass stepladder designed for heavy-duty use, featuring a 300-pound duty rating (Type IA). Its nonconductive fiberglass rails enhance safety, particularly in environments with electrical hazards. The ladder incorporates internal pinch-proof spreaders and double-riveted Traction-Tred steps for stability and secure footing. Each rivet is reinforced with a metal part or washer, ensuring durability. Additional structural integrity is provided by a rear horizontal brace across each step and knee bracing on the top step and horizontal brace. The molded plastic top includes a built-in paint can hook for convenience. The innovative EDGE (Energy Diffusing Geometric Enhancement) molded brace and foot pad combination offers superior bracing strength and increased protection against damage, making it a reliable tool for various tasks.

Setup and Initial Inspection
Before each use, perform a thorough inspection of the stepladder. Ensure all components are in good working order and free from damage. Check for loose rivets, cracks in the fiberglass rails, and proper functioning of the internal pinch-proof spreaders. Verify that the Traction-Tred steps are clean and provide secure footing. Position the ladder on a firm, level surface. Fully open the stepladder until the spreaders are locked into place. Ensure all four feet are in full contact with the ground to maintain stability.

Operating Instructions and Safety Guidelines
Always face the ladder when climbing or descending. Maintain three points of contact (two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand) at all times. Do not overreach; keep your body centered between the side rails. The top platform and the top two steps are not designed for standing. Utilize the molded plastic top for holding tools or a paint can, as it features a built-in hook. Never use the ladder if you feel dizzy or unwell. Ensure no one is working below the ladder while it is in use.

Maintenance and Storage
To ensure the longevity and safety of your Werner stepladder, regular maintenance is crucial. Keep the ladder clean and free from dirt, grease, or any substances that could cause slipping. Inspect the fiberglass rails for any signs of damage, such as cracks, splinters, or excessive wear. Check all rivets and braces for tightness and integrity. Lubricate moving parts, such as the spreaders, periodically to ensure smooth operation. Store the ladder in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation. Avoid storing heavy objects on the ladder when it is folded.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Most issues with stepladders relate to improper setup or usage. If the ladder feels unstable, ensure it is fully opened and the spreaders are locked. Verify that all four feet are on a level, firm surface. If steps feel slippery, clean them thoroughly. For any structural damage, such as bent or cracked components, discontinue use immediately and contact Werner customer support for guidance. Do not attempt to repair damaged parts yourself, as this could compromise the ladder's safety.
