Danger can occur when using extremely strong magnetic clamps due to improper handling and/or poor
maintenance, which may cause serious accidents with fatal physical injuries. Please observe all safety
instructions of this operation manual and contact the manufacturer if you have any questions.
important:
!
• stability and safe hold do not occur on round or arched surfaces
• use the magnetic clamp preferably on plane surfaces
• full performance is only reached when using the entire magnetic surface
• cavities or drilled holes underneath the surface reduce the magnetic holding force
• fixing several work pieces on top of each other decreases the holding force significantly
• ensure that the lever springs back strongly during work on thin materials
!
Always...
• activatethemagnetic clamp completely
• activate the magnetic clamp on metallic,
ferromagnetic materials
• clean the magnetic surface and keep it clear
of dirt, chips and welding spatter
• set the magnet clamp down gently to prevent
damage to the magnetic surface
• respect the stated maximum breakaway force
• inspect the magnetic surface and the entire
magnetic clamp for damage
• follow the instructions in this operating manual
• instruct new operators in the safe use of
switchable magnetic clamps
• respect local and country-specificguidelines
on handling magnetic tools
• keep and use in a dry environment
People using pacemakers or other medical devices should not use this magnetic clamp
until they have consulted with their physician.
!
never...
• exceed the stated maximum load
• use the magnet to position objects above
people or walking paths without using
additional safeguards
• use the magnetic clamp to lift or transport loads
• use the magnetic clamp to support, lift or
transport persons
• switch the magnetic clamp off before setting
down all work pieces in a safe end position
• modify the magnetic clamp or remove
operating labels
• use the magnetic clamp if damaged or
missing parts
• strain the underside of the magnet through
heavy impact or blows
• use the magnetic clamp without having been
properly instructed
• use if you have not read and understood these
operating instructions completely
• place fingers or any other body part between
the magnetic surface and the work piece
because there is a risk of injury
• operate in temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F)
• expose to corrosive substances
