3. Setup
The Werner 150B 2 Step Aluminum Step Stool is designed for quick and easy deployment. Follow these steps to set up your stool:
- Unfold the Stool: Grasp the top step or frame and gently pull the front and rear legs apart until the locking mechanism engages. Ensure the spreaders are fully extended and locked into place.
- Verify Stability: Before climbing, lightly push down on the top step to confirm that the stool is stable and does not wobble. All four feet should be in full contact with the ground.
4. Operating Instructions
Using your Werner 150B step stool correctly ensures safety and efficiency.
- Placement: Position the step stool directly in front of the task area. Avoid placing it on uneven or slippery surfaces.

- Working Position: Stand firmly on the steps. Keep your belt buckle (center of gravity) between the side rails. Do not lean too far to one side or overreach. If you cannot reach comfortably, descend and reposition the stool.
- Descending: Face the steps when descending. Maintain three points of contact.
