DO NOT engage the handle t the n psitin withut magnetic material under the lifter. DO NOT drp, heat r shck the lifter as it culd cause permanent damage t the lifter. LIFTING SAFETY Make certain material surface is free f debris r bstructins. D nt use multiple magnets withut prper spreader bar. D nt carry material ver r near peple. Make certain the material is prperly distributed. D nt allw peple t stand n lifted materials. N shear lifts. D nt allw the magnet f lifted material t cme int cntact with any bstructins while lifting. Make certain t lift material evenly s as t avid an instable lift. 2

DEFINITIONS Specificatins AIR GAP Anything that prevents the magnet frm making full cntact with the material being lifted is cnsidered an air gap. Examples f an air gap wuld be items like paint, rust, ice, water, machine grves, hles, il, rust, debris, etc. It is always recmmended that there is a limited air gap s the device can make full cntact with the material. BREAKAWAY FORCE The frce required t separate the magnet frm the material being lifted is cnsidered the breakaway frce. This is the frce when the magnet is being pulled in a directin perpendicular t the magnet s face. The breakaway frce is directly prprtinal t the materials specificatins. The lifter s breakaway frce increases until the material being lifted exceeds the saturatin thickness f the material. 3

A gap between the lifting magnet and the steel lad prduced by paint, dirt, rughness, r uneven surface f material (see air gap graph belw) When lifting high carbn steel, the lifting capacity will be 30% less. If lifting cast irn, the lift value will be 50% less. A rund bar must cntact the V shape slt at the bttm f the lifting magnet. The actual capacity value will be apprximately 40% f that plate. When lifting pipes, its thickness shuld als be taken int accunt. The actual capacity value is als affected by the diameter f the material. A large thin steel sheet can be bent in an arc prfile and then peeled ff when lifted, even thugh it is light. When lifting a sheet frm a stack, the magnetic flux may penetrate thrugh the sheet and adhere t lwer pieces. This is an extremely unsafe lift.

9 AIR GAP GRAPH Cautin: Always cnsider the air gap when chsing the prper magnetic lifter fr the material. FORMULA FOR RANGE OF LIFTING CAPACITY Actual Capacity = Nminal Capacity (lbs) x T Factr (%) x A Factr (%) T Factr = Thickness Hlding Pwer (%) A Factr = Air Gap Hlding Pwer (%) Example: Mdel 600KG s rated lifting pwer is 1,320lbs. In the example we will lift 3/8 standard steel plate with 8 mils f paint n it. 3/8 = = 9.5mm 9.5mm = T Factr (%) = 35% 8 mils = 0.20mm = 8 Thusandth f an Inch 0.20mm = A Factr (%) = 80% Actual Capacity = 1320 (lbs) x 35 (%) x 80 (%) = (lbs) S the 600KG can lift lbs wrth f 3/8 sheet with 0.20mm wrth f paint n it. 6

10 Chapter 3 Operatins Nte THOROUGHLY READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THIS DEVICE! PURPOSE The purpse f the 100KG/300KG/600KG/1000KG/2000KG magnetic lifter is t lift steel, irn, rund and ther magnetic material. These are cmmnly used in manufacturing and warehusing peratins fr handling magnetic material. These magnets eliminate the need fr clamps, slings and chains increasing wrking efficiency. These lifters d nt require a pwer surce. OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLES The lifter has a magnetic path prduced by Nd-Fe-B rare earth magnets. In the n psitin, the magnet is engaged in the pathway and wrks t lift material. In the ff psitin, the magnets pathway is nt engaged and the device will have very little residual magnetism. The magnet will nt engage int the n psitin unless it is psitined tuching magnetic material. DEVICE COMPONENTS The main cmpnents f the magnetic lifter are the lifter bdy and main handle. 7

11 TRANSPORTING THE DEVICE When transprting the device, always carry with bth hands. If transprting inside a vehicle, it is recmmended t transprt it flat s as t avid the item falling ver. DO NOT carry the device by the handle. DO NOT allw the lifter base t get damaged when transprting. USING THE DEVICE D all pre-peratinal and peratinal safety checks frm Chapter 1. Cnsider yur security and stability as well as the rientatin f the device in the wrk area. Cnsider the material type, weight, cnditin, strength, density and rigidity. These factrs directly affect the tls peratin and user safety. The magnetic adhesin is highly affected by the cmpsitin f the material being lifted. Allys with higher irn cntent are typically mre susceptible t magnetic fields than thse with lwer irn cntent. Knw the material yu are lifting. IMPORTANT: Cnsult the peratinal chart t make sure the planned lift is within the capabilities f the device. Ensure the handle is securely attached. Ensure the wrk surface is clean and free f debris, il, rust, paint, dirt, etc. If yu d nt take this int accunt, lifting capacity will be reduced. Psitin the lifter n the steel gently s as nt t cause and dents n the lifter r surface. Take care t place the lifter n the center f the material lad. This wuld be a center pint f mass s that the weight is distributed evenly n all remaining sides. Press the buttn at the tp f the handle and turn the handle frm the ff psitin t the n psitin. Ensure the safety lck is engaged twards the machine t keep the device in the n psitin. Mve r lift the lad. T disengage the magnet when in the n psitin, simply press the buttn at the tp f the handle t disengage the lck and slwly mve the handle t the ff psitin. 8

12 Chapter 4 General Maintenance CAUTION! INTERNAL MAGNETS ARE EXTREMELY STRONG AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO PERSONS HANDLING OR ADJUSTING! DO NOT TAKE THEM OUT OR REPLACE WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THE PROPER HANDLING PROCEDURES! Inspect all device surfaces fr damage. Keep device clean and free f debris. Check fr misalignment, binding and breakage f all mving parts. If damaged, repair tl befre use. Prtect magnet frm rusting by iling the bttm base after use. Stre in a dry area. Check handle t ensure the safety buttn mves freely. Annual calibratin check is recmmended. 9
