OPERATION
Read the safety instruction first before operating the magnet
1. Check the condition of the magnet each
time before use. Wipe the pole shoes on
the magnet and the contact surface of
the workpiece burrs or irregularities.
4. Lift the load several centimetres and
make sure the load is well gripped. Never
stand under the load!
NEVER TRY TO SWITCH THE MAGNET ON OR OFF WHILE IT IS SITTING ON VERY THIN OR ON NON-MAGNETIC MATERIAL
OR IN THE AIR.
CAUTION: LIGHT WORKPIECES MAY STICK TO THE MAGNET AFTER IT HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF! NEVER RELEASE THE
HANDLE BEFORE SAME IS FULLY LOCKED.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE LIFTING MAGNET
Before use:
Check the entire magnet visually. Brush the pole shoes of the magnet and the contact surface of the workpiece clean. If nece-
ssary file off any burrs or irregularities. Do not use the magnet if you have discovered any defects. Check the operation of the
handle and locking plate.
Weekly:
Check the entire magnet, including the hook eye, lifting cover and bolts for deformities, cracks or other defects. If the lifting eye
is deformed or more than 10% worn off, it should be replaced. Check the presence and legibility of the type plate and instructi-
on plate. Check the pole shoes. If they are more than 10% damaged (pits, burrs etc.) the magnet should be returned to your
supplier or an authorised agent for regrinding. Lifting capacity is checked following this operation.
Annually:
Have the lifting capacity of your magnet checked by your supplier or an authorised agent at least once a year.
