1.4 Danger from strong magnetic fields

DANGER

Strong attractive forces on magnetizable materials lead to a great danger of crushing in the

vicinity of components with permanent magnets (distance less than 100 mm).
Do not underestimate the strength of the attractive forces!
Do not carry any objects made of magnetizable materials (e. g. watches, steel or iron tools)

and/or permanent magnets close to the motor or close to a component with permanent

magnets.
For the event of accidents when working with permanent magnets, the following objects

must be on hand to free clamped body parts (hands, fingers, feet etc.):


a hammer (about 3 kg) made of solid, non-magnetizable material



two pointed wedges (wedge angle approx. 10° to 15°) made of solid, non-magnetizable

material (e.g. hard wood)

First aid in the case of accidents involving permanent magnets

● Stay calm.
● Press the emergency stop switch and, where necessary, switch off the main switch if the

machine is live.

● Administer FIRST AID. Call for further help if required.
● To free jammed body parts (e.g., hands, fingers, feet), pull apart components that are

clamped together.
– To do this, use a hammer to drive a wedge into the separating rift
– Release the jammed body parts.

● If necessary, call for an EMERGENCY DOCTOR.

CAUTION

Magnetic fields can lead to a loss of data on magnetic or electronic data media and

damage watches.
Keep all magnetic or electronic data media (e.g. credit cards, disks, etc.) and watches away

from the rotor (< 100 mm).
