WARNING
Risk of falling from sudden oscillating movements of the
machine .
When working on scaffolding, the machine can make a sudden
oscillating movement on starting or in the event of interruption to
the power supply.
►
Secure the machine with the safety belt (F) supplied.
►
Wear a safety belt to protect yourself against falling.
The magnet clamping force is dependent on the condition of the
substrate. The clamping force is significantly reduced by paint,
zinc and scale coatings and rust.
The substrate must satisfy the following conditions in order to
achieve sufficient magnet clamping force:
■
The substrate must be magnetic.
■
The clamping surface and the magnetic foot (15) must be
clean and grease-free.
■
The clamping surface must be completely smooth and level.
NOTE
►
Clean the substrate and the magnetic foot (15) of the machi-
ne before use.
►
Remove any unevenness and loose rust from the substrate.
►
BDS offers special holding devices in its range of accesso-
ries.
The best clamping effect is obtained on low-carbon steel substra-
te with a thickness of at least 20 mm.
