The electromagnet will work best on surfaces of at least 10 mm (3/8") thickness.
When the electromagnet is not able to create a good enough magnetic field, this may be caused by:
- Surface not being flat;
- Workpiece is not magnetisable (e.g. aluminium);
- Workpiece is coated or painted;
- Workpiece is not thick enough.
2-Way magnet
This machine is equipped with a 2-way magnet function. At half of the magnetic force (600 kg), the
magnet sufficiently sticks to the surface to hold the machine in position while not in use. More
importantly, it consumes less energy, generates less heat and as a consequence will last longer. Only
with full magnetic force (1,200 kg) the machine can be used for drilling.
Using the 2-way magnet:
1. Place and position the machine on the workpiece;
2. To activate the magnet at half of the magnetic force, press the red magnet switch. The
magnet switch will be lit (red);
3. For full magnetic force, press the green motor switch (see next paragraph);
4. To deactivate the magnet, first press the red motor switch to return to half magnetic force
and then press the magnet switch again.
