Operation
Read the safety instructions before operating the magnet.
1. Check the condition of the magnet each time before use.
Wipe the pole shoes on the magnet and the contact surface of the
workpiece clean. If necessary file off any burrs or irregularities.
2. Place the magnet on the workpiece and position the magnet in such
a manner that it remains horizontal during lifting (determine the centre
of gravity of the workpiece as accurately as possible).
3. Grasp the handle and switch the magnet on by
placing the handle in position A.
Allow the spring pressure to pull the handle back into
the locked position.
Check this! Only now the handle can be released.
Never try to switch the magnet ON or OFF while it is sitting
on very thin, on non-magnetic material, or in the air.
4. Lift the load several centimeters and give the load a firm push to
ensure that it is well gripped.
Never stand under the load!
5. Guide the load by holding the corners.
Avoid collisions, swinging and shocks.
Never stand under the load and keep the load horizontal!
Lower the load onto a stable surface.
6. Grasp the handle bal and pull the handle out of its
locked position.
Switch the magnet off by placing the handle in position
B.
Allow the spring pressure to pull the handle back into
the locked position.
Check this! Only now the handle can be released.
Caution:
light workpieces may stick to the magnet after it
has been switched off!
Never release the handle before same is fully locked.
Inspection and maintenance of the lifting magnet
1. Before use
Check the entire magnet visually. Brush the pole shoes of the magnet
and the contact surface of the workpiece clean.
If necessary file off any burrs or irregularities. Do not use the magnet
if you have discovered any defects. Check the operation of the handle
and locking plate.
2. Weekly
Check the entire magnet, including the hook eye, lifting cover and bolts
for deformities, cracks or other defects. If the lifting eye is deformed or
more than 10% worn off, it should be replaced. Check the presence
and legibility of the type plate and instruction plate.
Check the pole shoes. If they are more than 10% damaged (pits, burrs
etc.) the magnet should be returned to your supplier or an authorised
agent for regrinding. Lifting capacity is checked following this operati-
on.
3. Annually
Have the lifting capacity of your magnet checked by your supplier or
an authorised agent at least once a year.
End of use treatment and disposal:
Dissemble product, separating the magnetic material from other com-
ponents.
Contact your local metal/industrial recycling collector.
