DANGER
As you perform this step, take care to avoid getting your fingers
between the pole piece and any other part of the source. One or
more of your fingers could easily be injured if the pole piece should
slip from your grasp. In that event, the pole piece could snap back
tight against the magnet and base plate with great speed and force,
resulting in possible injury to a finger caught between two metallic
parts.

Care fully re move the per ma nent mag net from the base plate. To do so, push it to one side
and then swing it up by rais ing the end that now ex tends be yond the side of the base plate.
CAU TION
To minimize the risk of degaussing the magnet, always place it on a
nonmagnetic surface such as plastic or wood when it is not installed
in the source. When handling the magnet, make sure that it does not
drop onto or otherwise strike any hard surface.
