Please make sure that the contacting surface for the magnet is level, clean and rust-free.
Remove any varnish or primer. When working on materials that are not magnetizable, suitable
fixation devices are obtainable as accessories from HMT, e. g. suction plate, vacuum plate or
pipe-drilling clamp must be used.
When working on steel materials with a material thickness of less than 5 mm, the work piece must
be reinforced with an additional steel plate in order to guarantee the magnetic holding power.
Check the machine for possible damage before using the machine, you must carefully check
protective devices or slightly damaged components to ensure they are operating perfectly and as
