Always use a work piece that is at least 3/8” (9
mm) thick.
●
The work piece must be at least 3/8” (9 mm) thick. If
a work piece is too thin, the magnetic power of your
machine will decrease. This will cause the machine
to move during operation. This could result in an
accident. (Fig.3)
Not less than 3/8" (9mm)

Use an iron back-up plate.
●
If the work piece is less than 3/8” (9 mm) thick, you
must use an iron back-up plate that is more than
13/32”(10 mm ) in thickness. The surface area of the
iron back-up plate must he greater than the surface
area of the Magnet. An appropriate back-up plate is
necessary to boost the holding power of the Magnet.
(Fig.3)
Use of an inappropriate back-up plate can result in
an accident, If the back-up plate is not thick enough
or big enough, the machine will come loose during
operation. This can result in an accident and severe
injuries.

Always keep surfaces clean.
●
Always keep the Magnet surface clean. Always keep
the work piece surface clean. If there are any foreign
objects between the Magnet and the work piece
surfaces, this will reduce magnetic power. This could
cause the machine to move during operation. This
can result in an accident. Keep all surfaces clean of
rust, chips or other foreign material.
Do not place the machine over a hole.
●
Do not attempt to position the Magnet over a hole.
Attempting to straddle a hole will reduce the power
of the Magnet. This will cause the work piece to
come loose during operation and can cause an
accident.
Always use a Chain to secure the machine.
●
If the machine falls, it can cause severe injuries.
There is always a possibility that magnetic power
can be lost or reduced because of a power failure.
Magnetic power can be lost on rough surfaces. You
must take precautions to prevent the machine from
falling.
●
This machine comes with the Chain. The Chain is
to be used to fasten the machine to the work piece.
If you do not use the Chain, it is possible that the
machine may fall. (Fig.4)
●
If use of the Chain is not possible because of the
size of the work piece, you must use another method
of securing the machine. Use a Supporting Magnet
Assʼy
to prevent the machine from falling.
●
The use of a Supporting Magnet Ass
ʼ
y is shown
below. (Fig.5)

Always set the Magnet in the proper position.
●
Always set the Magnet parallel to the longitudinal
direction of the material. Failure to set the Magnet in
the proper position may result in reduced magnetic
power. This can cause the machine to move in
operation. This can cause an accident resulting in
severe injuries.
●
When using on H-section steel, as shown in the
figure below, set the Magnet in a direction parallel
to the longitudinal direction of the material. This will
ensure that the Magnet is in the best position for
magnetic attraction.(Fig.6)
●
Poor magnetic power may result in damage to the
cutter or damage to the work piece.
