Intended use. VersaMAG permanent magnets with vises (**) are intended for the following purposes: – Force-locking clamping of workpieces for machining with hand-held tools and drill presses – positioning on magnetizable, clean, rust-free, coat- ing-free and ice-free flat materials of 12 mm thick- ness upward for commercial use with attachments and accessories approved by FEIN for the product (see www.fein.com) in weather-protected environments. Use only on stable surfaces. The product may only be used by instructed persons. All other types of use are considered as not intended for. The operator is solely liable for any damage caused by use not as intended for. Foreseeable improper use For safe operation of the product and to exclude mis- use, the following is prohibited: – Unauthorized modifications – Drilling holes in the product and the permanent magnet – Clamping workpieces without force-locking – Improper use, particularly (but not exclusively) for: — use on non-magnetizable materials, — fixing workpieces to be processed on the magnetic surface, — use of non-approved attachments, — use as a lifting magnet, — use as a step or a handle to assist climbing, — use in machine tools such as milling machines, – non-observance of the operating instructions, – exceeding the values specified in this operating manual Special safety instructions. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark work areas invite accidents. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Always secure the Product with the supplied safety strap. Keep bystanders away while using the product. During drilling operations, additionally secure the prod- uct against twisting by means of positive locking. Always clamp workpieces with sufficient clamping force. A workpiece not securely fastened can come loose and cause injuries. The spindle of the vise must not be driven with electric tools. Keep the magnet away from persons with cardiac pace- makers. Use the magnet only at an ambient temperature between –15 °C and +45 °C. Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs onto the product. This can result in damage to the magnets. Do not use accessories that have not been especially developed or approved by FEIN. Transport. Air freight Magnetic fields from improperly packaged magnets could affect aircraft navigation equipment. In the worst case, this can lead to an accident. For air transport, only dispatch magnets in packaging with sufficient magnetic shielding. Observe the relevant regulations. Starting Operation. Before carrying out any work with the product, check that the clamping screws are tight. Keep bystanders away while using the product. Operating Instructions. Use personal protective equipment according to the application. Use the magnet only on magnetic surfaces with a wall thickness of at least 12 mm. Pay attention that the set-up surface for the magnetic foot is flat, clean, rust-free and ice-free. Remove var- nish, putty/filler layers and other materials. Prevent an air gap between the magnetic foot and the set-up sur- face. The air gap reduces the magnetic holding power. Do not use this product on hot surfaces > 80 °C, as this will result in a permanent reduction of the magnet holding power. Only drill workpieces within the clamping range. When welding, attach the ground connection directly to the workpiece or to the welding plate. Switching the magnet on. Clamp and machine workpieces only when the lever position is set to “I”. WARNING28

Troubleshooting. Repair and customer service. Renew stickers and warning indications on the product when aged and worn. After several hours of operation, the play in the mova- ble clamping jaw can increase. In this case, tighten the two screws on the bottom side of the movable clamp- ing jaw so that the clamping jaw can be easily moved by hand but does not tilt. Do not remove the permanent mag- nets under any circumstances, as they can cause injuries and contusions or bruises. Have your product repaired only through a qualified repair person and only using original replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is main- tained. Wear detection on the magnetic foot Moving the magnetic vise on the set-up surface causes wear to the magnetic foot. This may result in air gaps between the magnetic foot and the set-up surface and the magnetic holding power can be reduced. For check- ing, the magnetic foot is provided with indentations. Check for wear each time before using the magnetic vise. If one of these indentations is no longer fully visi- ble, the magnetic foot must be replaced (see page 22).
