Warning:
This actuator uses high-performance rare-earth permanent magnets. Accordingly, anyone
who is using a pacemaker or other medical device should not perform this work.
Do not bring a watch, mobile phone or any other electronic device susceptible to the
magnetic field closer to the actuator.
Wear gloves and exercise caution not to cut your hand by the stainless sheet during the
procedure.
Pay due attention not to let the permanent magnets attract iron powder or other magnetic
objects during the procedure.
Caution:
The bolts you have removed will be required when reassembling the linear scale. Keep
them in a secure place by making sure you know which bolt came from where.
