Assembling the magnetic plates
Attention
Damage to the magnetic plates
The magnetic plates are very sensitive to knocks. Always ensure that they are transported
safely.
The textured side of the plate is the magnetic side. The magnetic plates exert a strong attractive force on all
ferromagnetic metals such as iron. These forces cannot be controlled with the hands. They can cause
serious injuries. For this reason, the following must be observed:
CAUTION
Damage due to a magnetic field that is not neutralised
Only handle the magnetic plates when they are covered by the protective plate that neu
tralises the magnetic field.
CAUTION
Damage during dismantling due to the magnetic field
Make sure that the magnetic plates are fastened in your machine before removing the pro
tective plates.
Put the protective plates back onto the magnetic plates before dismantling them.
Do not bring any softmagnetic objects (iron) closer than 10 cm to the magnetic side of the
magnetic plates.
