1.3 Safety instructions for the operation of lifting magnets
• Read the manual before using
• The magnet may only be used at ambient temperatures from -10 to +80°C and at
a humidity of max. 80%
• No dangerous goods may be lifted with Lifting magnets
(e.g. filled gas cylinders )
• Lifting magnets must be used in a way, that no Persons are harmed
(Warn Bystanders)
• Do not lift loads while persons are in or on the Workspace
• Put the magnet always to the load center and transport the load always horizontal;
unless expressly stated otherwise
• Do not overload your hoist and slings, also calculate the weight of the
lifting magnets
• The lift surfaces must be clean, dry and free from oil and grease and any loose
coatings etc.
• Loads that are running loose items, may not be carried
• Lifting magnets have to be applied in a way, they do not have Overweight
and that the load is secured against falling. Only use standard-compliant hoists and
crane hook with safety flap
• For your personal safety, lifting magnets may only be used with protective clothing
(helmet, gloves, safety shoes).
• The Load has to be lifted and dropped in a way, that Falling, falling apart, slipping or
unroll of the load is avoided
• No lifting of uneven or porous workpieces
• Do not lift more than 1 workpiece at a time (Stack)
• Avoid Knocks, blows and falls at any time
• Do not switch the Lifting magnet until it stands on the Load to be lifted
• In the beginning lift the load only by a few centimeters and check whether it is held securely
• Avoid slipping the load when lifting it
• Do not stand under a lifted load
• Do not leave the lifted load alone
• Make sure, that the load is on a secured ground before switching off the Lifting magnet
Note in particular:
Especially when lifting very light workpieces, hardened and tough materials such as tool steel, it may be
that the load adheres by residual magnetism or adhesion to the magnetic insole after switching off the
magnet - make sure that this does not rise when you lift the magnet - loosen the load by tapping or pry
the load off the magnet.
