The following symbol is used throughout this User Manual
and on the product.
This symbol on the product indicates that
there is a safety hazard or an operation
requiring care to avoid damage to the product
or environment. You must read the
appropriate sections of the User Manual to
understand the nature and severity of all the
potential hazards present and the action you
must take.
• Never allow an extended pole section to collapse uncontrolled. Risk of injury and equipment damage.
• Do not create trip hazards by leaving poles unattended in public spaces and avoid leaving poles extended when not in
use (against walls, across desks etc.). Risk of injury and equipment damage.
• Solo poles are not specied for use in high voltage areas. Risk of injury and equipment damage.
• When working at height it is recommended that a competent person carries out a suitable risk assessment. This will
identify any risk to the user and/or the environment, or other safety measures, and hence any need for Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE).
• Do not use Solo poles if unable to control their use properly e.g. when fatigued. Risk of injury and equipment damage.
It is recommended that Solo poles are inspected before and after use and if any signs of damage, abnormal wear or

Using
Solo Access Poles
Figure 1
• Solo poles should always be held vertically when
raising or lowering. Ensure that all extension poles
and test tool buttons are locked into position before
extension and use. (Fig.1)
• When using Solo 111 extension poles in conjunction
with Solo 110 telescopic pole, the telescopic pole
should be at the shortest length, i.e. not extended,
before attaching or removing the Solo 111 extension
pole(s) or tool.
• No more than 3 x Solo 111 extension poles should
be used at the same time (see General
Recommendations for height & angle advice).
• When lowering, always hold in the vertical. Lower
telescopic sections rst, before removing Solo 111
extensions.
• When lowering telescopic poles, rest the base of the
pole on the oor and depress the locking button,
while lowering the upper sections with the other
hand.
General Recommendations
The maximum working height using Solo 110 & Solo 111
poles is 4.5 metres for Solo and Testire.This is achieved

Tips to prevent user fatigue
• Stand with one foot half a stride ahead of the other to
increase balance and reduce strain.
• Where possible, share testing workload with others.
• Alternate using the poles between the left and right
hand side of the body.
• Take regular breaks.
