Read the safety instructions first before
operating the magnet.
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 pile off any
burrs or irregularities.
HORIZONTAL LIFTING:

work piece as accurate as possible. Lower
the magnet carefully on the designated
position.

magnet and the workpiece !
2. Make sure that release handle is
in the locked position.
3. Lift the load several centimeters

the release handle and pull the same to
break off the magnet. Now lift the magnet
away from the workpiece.

stick to the magnet
VERTICAL LIFTING:
1. Lock the lifting eye in the
vertical position. Unlock the
