1. Follow the safety instructions. Clean the workpiece and the lower magnetic plate of the switchable
magnetic clamp.
2. Release all three clamping levers. Adjust the angle of the magnets to each other according to the desired
application. Now tighten the three levers again with ca. 5-6 Nm to fix the assemblies in place.
3. 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.
4. Align the work piece and the magnet according to the desired application.
5. Turn the activation lever by 60° into the ON position until it audibly latches into place (with a slight tilting).
6. Check the secure and strong hold of the magnet and the work piece depending on application.
7. After the load has been set down completely and safely, you can deactivate the magnetic clamp. To do
this, 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/m
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 16).
