Warn others who wear these devices from getting
too close to magnets.
Warning
Heavy objects
Too heavy loads, symptoms of fatigue as well as material
defect could cause a magnet or magnetic hook to loosen
from the surface that is was attached to.
Falling objects could lead to serious injuries.
The indicated adhesive force applies only to
ideal conditions. Allow for a high safety cushion.
Don't use magnets in places where people could
sustain injuries in case of material failure.
Caution
Magnetic field
Magnets produce a far-reaching, strong magnetic field.
They could damage TVs and laptops, computer hard drives,
credit and ATM cards, data storage media, mechanical
watches, hearing aids and speakers.
Keep magnets away from devices and objects that
could be damaged by strong magnetic fields.
Use a large box and place the magnet in the
middle surrounded by lots of padding material.
Arrange magnets in a package in a way that the
magnetic fields neutralise each other.
If necessary, use sheet iron to shield the magnetic
field.
There are stricter rules for airfreight: Refer
to the warning notice "Airfreight".
Notice
Demagnetisation through neodymium magnets
Stronger neodymium magnets can cause a change of magnetisation
direction or demagnetisation in ferrite magnets.
Store ferrite magnets at least 5 cm away from neodymium
magnets and do not mix those types of magnets.
Notice
Temperature resistance
Ferrite magnets can be used at temperatures between
-40 °C and 250 °C.
At lower and higher temperatures they lose part of their
adhesive force permanently.
Don't use ferrite magnets in places where they are exposed
to temperatures below -40 °C or above 250 °C.
Notice
Mechanical treatment
Ferrite magnets are brittle.
When drilling or sawing a magnet with improper tools,
the magnet may break.
Stay away from mechanical treatment of magnets if you
do not possess the necessary equipment and experience.
Notice
Influence on people
According to the current level of knowledge, magnetic
fields of permanent magnets do not have a measurable
positive or negative influence on people. It is unlikely
that permanent magnets constitute a health risk, but
it cannot be ruled out entirely.
For your own safety, avoid constant contact
with magnets.
Store large magnets at least one metre away
from your body.
The Pull Force is the force required to pull a magnet
free from a flat steel plate using force perpendicular
to the surface. This is the standard for testing
magnet pull strength. Air gaps and changes in surface
material will substantially reduce the effectiveness
of the pull force, or pull strength of the magnet.
