SAFETY
WARNING FOR INCORRECT OPERATION OR
ACTION THAT COULD HAVE PHYSICAL INJURY
OR DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT AS A RESULT.
Safety instructions
1. Never use this magnet before these instructions have been
read and understood.
consulting a medical specialist.
3. Never remove warning or instruction plates from the
magnet.
4. Always wear safety glasses, gloves, protective footwear
and a helmet.
5. Never stand or move under the load.
6. Never transport over or past people.
7. Never use the magnet as an aid to lifting, supporting or
transporting persons.
8. Warn bystanders when beginning to lift and load.
9. To prevent the hook from slipping out of the eye hook
always use a lifting hook equipped with a safety latch.
10. Ensure that the weight and dimensions of the load to be
lifted do not exceed the maximum permitted values.
11. Never use a damaged or poorly operating magnet.
12. Only switch the magnet on when it has been placed
placed on the load.
13. Only switch the magnet off when the load has been
placed on a stable surface.
14. Never lift more than one workpiece at a time with this
magnet.
15. Never leave a hoisted load unattended.
16. The temperature of the load or the surroundings must
never exceed 8o°C.
17. NEO HOT - The temperature of the load or the
surroundings must never exceed 180°C.
DETERMINING THE WORKLOAD LIMIT (WLL)
The workload limit of type NEOLIFT 150 = 150 kg
The workload limit of type NEOLIFT 300 = 300 kg
The workload limit of type NEOLIFT 600 = 600 kg
The workload limit of type NEOLIFT 1000 = 1000 kg
The workload limit of type NEOLIFT 1500 = 1500 kg
The workload limit of type NEOLIFT 2000 = 2000 kg
The workload limit of type NEOHOT 250= 250 kg
The workload limit of type NEOHOT 500= 500 kg
The workload limit of type NEOHOT 1000 = 1000 kg
The workload limit of type NEOHOT 2000 = 2000 kg
The workload limit may become less as a result of:
1. Air gaps between the load and the magnet, caused by
paper, dirt, paint, burrs, damage, surface roughness etc.
either on the load or the magnet.
2. Thin loads. The thinner the load, the less the lifting capacity.
3. Lenght and width of the load. Long, wide parts that hang
outside the magnet protrusions, resulting in an air gap.
This is called the peeling effect.
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT AND/
OR DIMENSIONS FOR THE MATERIAL THICKNESS
STATED IN THE TABLE.
NEVER PLACE THE MAGNET OVER A LARGE HOLE
OR BORE.
4. The load material type. In general it applies that: high alloy
percentage = low lifting capacity. Some alloys are even
totally non-magnetic (e.g. stainless steel 304).
The values in the table on page 4 apply to St. 37 (S
235 JR). For other materials the lifting capacity will
reduce by the percentages below:
Workload limit for various materials
For other materials consult your supplier.
5. A small contact surface between pole shoes and load. In
case the load does not fully cover the pole shoes the lifting
capacity will be reduced by the same percentage.
A workpiece should cover both pole shoes as far as
possible, and always to an equal amount.
6. The magnet must remain fully horizontal during transport.
Unsafe applications
1. Never lift more workpieces simultaneously (e.g. thin
sheets)
2. Never lift a load on the smallest side.
3. Never place the magnet with the long side lengthwise on a
