• Avoid mounting if there is a strong wind and a wet roof surface.
• Always work on a pitched roof with a safety harness and safety nets and edge safety if necessary.
• Slide roof tiles upwards so that gaps are created in which you can place your feet. Attention!: Never stand in the gutter.
• Wear shoes with reinforced toecaps and strong anti-slip soles.
