Dear customer,
Thank you for purchasing a Maglogix
for the first time and keep them for later reference.
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
they have consulted with their physician.
