START-UP
You receive a completely assembled lifting magnet and a detailed operating manual. Please check the
condition of the goods upon receipt for any damage incurred during transport, and make sure the delivery
is complete. If you have any problems, please contact the manufacturer immediately.
1. Follow the safety instructions. Clean the workpiece and the lower magnetic plate of the lifting magnet.
2. Position the lifting magnet at the centre of gravity of the load. The lifting magnet is pre-tensioned slightly
in order toavoid inadvertent slipping and droppingof the magnet (e.g. when used in a vertical or other
forced position).
3. Align the lifting magnet according to the desired application.
4. Turn the activation lever by 60° into the ON position until it audibly latches into place (with a slight tilting).
5. Lift the load slightly and check its secure hold by shaking.
6. Now move your load slowly and smoothly. Avoid swinging or jarring.
7. After the load has been set down completely and safely, you can deactivate the lifting magnet.
To do this, push the activation leverat its far end upwards (1.) and moveit into the OFF position (2.).
The maximum dimensions of the loads to be lifted depend to a large extent on the geometry and flexural
stiffness of the work pieces. This is due to the fact that, in case of bending, an air gap (view page 15) forms
under the magnetic surface resulting in a significant decrease of the load-bearing capacity. During each lift,
watch for any deformation of the work piece that might occur. If necessary, check for any air gap developing
at the edges of the TiN-coated magnetic surface (e.g. with a sheet of paper; 80g/m
2
).
Immediately stop the lifting operation if there is any excessive deformation or an air gap.
!
Never exceed the dimensions and/or the load-bearing capacity of the
material thickness given intable 2.
