use the magnetic clamp preferably on plane surfaces

full performance is only reached when using the entire magnetic surface

cavities or drilled holes underneath the surface reduce the magnetic holding force

fixing several work pieces on top of each other decreases the holding force significantly

ensure that the lever springs back strongly during work on thin materials
