16 Do not lift hazardous materials (explosive, radioactive, etc.)
17 Do not lift parts on which moving loads are placed.
18 Do not use in explosive atmospheres.
USE
Before using the lifting magnet, first read the safety instructions.
1 Before each use, check the condition of the magnet. Carefully wipe the magnet poles and the contact
surface of the load. Remove any burrs/irregularities that may be present.
2 Place the magnet on the load and position it so that the load remains horizontal during lifting (determine
the centre of gravity of the load as best you can).
3 Grasp the handle and arm the magnet by rotating the lever by about 135° until the safety device locks it
in the magnetization phase, thus preventing it from being deactivated. Once this has been checked, you can
release the lever.
4 Lift the load a few centimetres and then hit it hard to ensure a good grip. Never put yourself under the
load!
5 Guide the load by holding it by the corners. Avoid knocks, swings and shocks. Never put yourself under
the load and keep the load in a horizontal position!
6Carefully place the load on a stable support. Grasp the lever and unlock the safety device. Deactivate the
magnet by returning the lever to its initial position, at the stop. You can now release the lever.
Never arm or disarm the magnet while it is on a non-magnetic part or in the air.
Attention ! After neutralizing the magnet, a light load can remain stuck to the magnet.
Never release the lever until it is in the final position.
MAINTENANCE AND CONTROL OF THE LIFTING MAGNET
• Before each use :
Visually check the magnet assembly. Thoroughly clean the polar faces of the magnet and remove any alterations
or barbs, if necessary with a file. Do not use the magnet when you notice defects. Check the operation of the
lever and locking system.
• Every week :
Check the assembly for deformation, cracks or other defects. If the lifting eye is deformed or worn by more than
10%, it must be replaced. Check the nameplate for presence and legibility.
Check the condition of the poles. If they are defective, they must be machined by your supplier, and then check
the lifting force.
• Every year :
Have the lifting force of your magnet checked at least once a year by your supplier or an authorised agent.
Never use a damaged or incomplete lifting magnet.
The warranty on FIX+V2 models is 12 months. This warranty does not cover defects caused by:
1- non-observance of the operating and maintenance instructions or abnormal use
2- abnormal wear and tear
3- modification or repairs not carried out by Euromag or an authorised agent
When matching your lifting magnet, always indicate the date on the nameplate.
