START-UP

You have received a completely assembled magnetic clamp and a detailed operating manual. Please check
the condition of the goods upon receipt for any damage incurred during transport, and make sure the
delivery is complete. If you have any problems, please contact the manufacturer immediately.
!
Be sure to read the operation instructions completely before using the magnet for the first time!
1. Follow the safety instructions. Clean the workpiece and the lower magnetic plate of the switchable
magnet clamp.
2. Place the magnetic clamp into the desired position or put the work piece onto the magnetic surface. The
magnetic clamp is slightly magnetized in order to assist positioning the magnet and the work piece.
3. Align the work piece and the magnet according to the desired application.
4. Turn the activation lever by 60° into the ON position until it audibly latches into place (with a slight tilting).
5. Check the secure and strong hold of the magnet depending on application.
6. To deactivate the magnetic clamp, push the activation lever at its far end upwards (1.) and move it into
the OFF position (2.).
During each application, watch for any deformation of the work piece that might occur. If a small distance
(air gap) forms between the magnetic surface and the work piece, the magnetic clamp will not reach the
stated holding force and could detach itself. Please check for any air gap developing at the edges of the
TiN-coated magnetic surface if necessary (e.g. with a sheet of paper; 80g/m2).
Immediately stop the application if there is any excessive deformation of the work piece
!
or if an air gap occurs.
Never exceed the dimensions and/or the load-bearing capacity of the values
!
given in table 2 (page 18).
