General
This user manual contains information for the correct operation and maintenance of your device. It also
contains instructions to avoid possible injuries and serious damages, and to allow a safe and as trouble-
free functioning of the product as possible.
Read this manual thoroughly before putting the device into operation, familiarise yourself with the
operation and control of the device and follow all instructions precisely.
•The data published in this instruction manual is based on the available information at the time of
delivery. This is issued subject to later amendment.
•We retain the right to amend or modify the construction and/or model of our products at any time
whatsoever, without any obligation to modify any previously supplied products accordingly.
Ferromagnetism
The working principle of the device is based on (Ferro)magnetism.
Ferromagnetism is the effect which certain materials, such as iron cobalt and nickel, will have when
exposed to an externally applied magnetic field.
Materials that remain magnetised when the external magnetic field is removed, are called permanent
magnets. Most magnetic materials lose their magnetism when the external magnetic field is removed.
Most alloys of iron, cobalt and nickel are magnetic.
However, some stainless steel alloys like AISI304 or AISI316 are only slightly magnetic.
Because in most cases it will be Fe parts that will be Ferro-magnetically influenced, we will use the term
‘Fe’ in this user manual when we mean Ferromagnetic material.

Conditions of supply and warranty
The conditions of supply are the “General Conditions for the supply and erection of mechanical,
electrical and electronic products” (SE01), published by Orgalime, in Brussels.
These conditions can also -if desired- be requested by writing to Goudsmit Magnetic Systems BV, as
also mentioned in our written quotation.
The warranty prescriptions are mentioned in these conditions.
The warranty on your equipment will be void if:
•Service and/or maintenance is not performed in accordance with the instruction manual, or is
performed by servicemen who are not especially trained to do so.
Goudsmit Magnetic Systems BV recommends to have service and/or maintenance performed
by Goudsmit service technicians.
•Modifications are made to the equipment without our prior written permission.
•Non-original parts or non 100% exchangeable parts are used.
•Lubrication products other than those prescribed are used.
•The equipment is used injudiciously, incorrectly, negligently or not in accordance with its intent
and/or purpose (see chapter “Intended use/user instructions”).
All parts that are subject to wear are excluded from warranty!
Other remarks/warnings:
•Only use the device for the application it has been designed for.
(see chapter “Intended use/user instructions”)
•Only use the device if its technical condition is perfect.
•Make sure all protective hoods or inspection covers (including all safety circuits) have
been fitted and are installed in the correct way.
•Make sure that maintenance on the device is appropriate and in accordance with the
instructions provided in this user manual.
•Correct any fault, especially if it can effect safety, before operating the device.

•Possible damage and/or shortcomings as a result of transport.
If so, ask the transporter to fill in a transport damage report.
•Completeness of the delivery/deliveries, the absence of anything
(additionally) ordered.
Contact GOUDSMIT Magnetic Systems B.V. in the event of any damage and/or mistaken delivery.
Identification plate
On the device an identification plate can be found.
The information is necessary for service.
Keep this plate clean.
Don’t forget to make note of both the Orderline and the Article number in case of breakdowns
or delivery of spare parts.

Safety
Regularly check that all warning pictograms are still present and legible, and clean if necessary.
Make sure that new pictograms are applied at their correct locations if they have been lost or
damaged.
General
The device is provided with safeguards where necessary. Make sure every person who comes in contact
with the device, wears adequate personal protection (overalls, safety glasses, hearing protectors, helmet,
steel-toed safety shoes etc.).
Areas of the device considered dangerous are marked with warning pictograms.
If the device remains easily accessible to persons, then extra safety precautions (e.g. fencing) must be
installed. When safeguards are not possible, make sure clear instructions are given to people using the
device.

Safety

Danger of magnetic field
The magnets generate a powerful magnetic field that strongly attracts ferromagnetic (Fe) materials.
Always take into account that these materials may suddenly be drawn towards the magnet, very
powerfully. This applies to steel workbenches and steel tools, but also to Ferromagnetic materials
carried on your person, such as coins in your wallet or your keys. Make use of non-magnetic tools and
workbenches fitted with a wooden worktop and preferably a non-Fe frame (for instance stainless steel).
Always be aware that Ferromagnetic parts will be attracted - even personal items -
if you are closer than 0.3 meter to a magnet.
Danger - strong magnetic field!
People fitted with pacemakers should on no account enter the magnetic field
(within a radius of at least 1 meters).
Prohibited for people with pacemakers!
Credit cards, chip cards, computer disks/tapes, computer screens, watches,
etc. may be damaged or destroyed if they enter the magnetic field (within a radius of at
least 0.5 meter).
Danger for magnetic cards!
