You have received a completely assembled Maglogix
Please check the condition of all items upon receipt for any damage incurred during transport, and make sure the
delivery is complete. If you find any problems, please contact the manufacturer immediately.
1. Follow all safety instructions. Clean the workpiece in the area of attachment and the magnetic contact area
of the Hand Lifter (see Surface Quality).
Caution: At the beginning of the application, watch for any deformation of the workpiece to the magnetic contact
area when activating the Magnetic Clamp. If a small distance (air gap) forms between the magnetic contact area
and the workpiece, 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 contact area. This air gap can be tested
by slipping a sheet of 20 lbs. (80g/m
Immediately stop the application!
Never exceed the dimensions and/or the load-bearing capacity of the values given in
Performance Data,
2. Place the Hand Lifter as close to the center of gravity of the workpiece as possible.
Note: Although the magnetic clamp of the Hand Lifter is in the OFF position, it still has a slight
magnetic pre-tensioning in order to avoid inadvertent slippage or dropping of the Hand Lifter,
and/or the workpiece. This pre-tension also allows for ease of positioning the Hand Lifter to the
workpiece.
3. Rotate the magnetic clamp activation lever by 60° into the ON position. Always check to make sure the
lever springs into the locking notch.
4. Perform a test lift. Lift the workpiece slightly and check for a secure and strong hold of the magnetic contact
area to the workpieces by shaking.
Important
DO NOT allow other ferromagnetic materials within 2 inches of any exposed ACTIVATED magnetic
contact area. Serious injury could occur from instantaneous magnetic attraction!
5. Move the load slowly and smoothly. Avoid swinging or jarring.
6. After the load has been set down safely, deactivate the magnetic clamp of the Hand Lifter and remove from
the workpiece, especially if the application might exceed the Maximum Operating Temperature of the
magnet clamp. To deactivate the magnetic clamp, first lift the activation lever at its far end upwards to
disengage the lever from its latching notch (1) and return by 60° into the OFF position (2). Care must be
taken because the activation lever can quickly/strongly spring back to the OFF position when working on
thin materials.
