18.2 Safety instructions for handling magnets
WARNING
Crushing 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
Implant failure or malfunction.
Magnets can influence the function of pacemakers and implanted defibril-
lators.
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 caused by flying metal chips.
Magnets are manufactured from brittle materials. If two magnets collide,
they may shatter. Sharp-edges chips can be launched over a distance of
several metres and cause eye injuries.
• Prevent collisions with magnets.
• Wear safety goggles when handling larger magnets.
• Ensure that bystanders are also given protection or maintain a dis-
tance.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION
Malfunctions caused by magnetic fields.
Magnets generate a wide-reaching and strong magnetic field. Amongst
other things, they can damage televisions, notebooks, computer hard dri-
ves, credit and debit cards, data carriers, mechanical clocks, hearing aids
and speakers.
• Keep magnets away from all devices and objects that can be damaged
by strong magnetic fields.
