Safety Instructions

Serious accidents with fatal physical injuries can occur when using extremely strong magnetic clamps if they are
improperly used and/or maintained. Observe all safety instructions in this operation manual and contact the
manufacturer if you have any questions.
Important:

round or arched surfaces are very unstable and do not provide safe holding of workpieces

use the Magnetic Clamp's magnetic contact areas on cleaned, flat plane surfaces

full load rated performance is only reached when using the entire magnetic contact area

cavities or drilled holes under the magnetic contact area will reduce the magnetic holding force

stacking several workpieces on/under the magnetic contact area will significantly decrease the
holding force

the activation lever can spring back quickly/strongly when deactivated from thin materials
.
Always...

activate the Magnetic Clamp completely ON until activation lever springs into the
locking notch

activate the Magnetic Clampon metallic, ferromagnetic materials

clean the magnetic contact area and keep it clear of dirt, chips and welding spatter

set the Magnetic Clamp down gently to prevent damage to the magnetic contact area

respect the stated maximum breakaway force

inspect the magnetic contact area 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-specific guidelines on handling magnetic tools

keep and use in a dry environment
Never...

exceed the stated maximum load

allow other ferromagnetic materials within 2 inches of any exposed ACTIVATED magnetic
contact area. Serious injury could occur from instantaneous magnetic attraction!

place fingers or any other body part between the magnetic contact area and workpiece
because there is severe risk of painful injury

use the Magnetic Clamp to position objects above people or walking paths

use the Magnetic Clamp to lift or transport loads unless the

use the Magnetic Clamp to support, lift or transport persons

switch the Magnetic Clamp off before setting down the workpiece in a safe position

modify the Magnetic Clamp or remove any operating labels

use the Magnetic Clamp if damaged or missing parts

subject the magnetic contact area of the Magnetic Clamp to 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

operate in temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C)

expose the Magnetic Clamp to corrosive substances
People using pacemakers or other medical devices should not use this Magnetic Clamp until
