14.1 Safety instructions for handling magnets
WARNING
Assembly works carried out in the machine’s working space may pre-
sent a danger due to machine movements caused unintentionally or
due to lack of care.
Machine movements caused by functions which are activated unintentio-
nally or by a second person can lead to injury.
• Work may only be carried out by instructed persons.
• Turn off the main switch of the machine.
• Switch off the compressed air supply.
• The pneumatic system must be depressurized.
WARNING
Crushing injuries may be caused by strong pulling forces.
Large magnets exhibit an extreme pull.
Careless handling can result in fingers or skin being trapped between
magnets. This can lead to crushing injuries and bruising on the affected
points.
• Handle magnets with great care.
WARNING
Failure or malfunctioning of implants.
Magnets can influence the functioning of pacemakers and implanted defib-
rillators.
Pacemakers can be switched into test mode and cause discomfort. Defib-
rillators may cease to function in certain circumstances.
• People wearing such devices must maintain a sufficient distance to
magnets.
• Wearers of such devices must be warned about approaching magnets.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused by flying metal fragments.
Magnets are manufactured from brittle materials. If two magnets collide,
they may shatter. Sharp-edged chips can be launched over a distance of
several meters and cause eye injuries.
• Beware of collisions with magnets.
• Wear safety goggles when handling larger magnets.
• Ensure that bystanders are also given protection or maintain a dis-
tance.
