WARNING

Keep the workplace free of metallic and magnetic materials

Make sure that your workplace is free of metallic and magnetic materials before positioning the mover. Only remove the mover from the transport securing device if absolutely necessary for assembly work. The transport securing device weakens the magnetic field and protects electrical components from magnetic influences.

If movers are attracted by metallic and magnetic parts, serious injuries to the fingers from crushing and in the eyes from splinters can result.

WARNING

Movers contain strong permanent magnets

The permanent magnets contained are arranged in so-called Hallbach arrays, which ensure that the magnetic field on the underside of the mover is significantly stronger than on the top of the mover. The field of the permanent magnets is present even when the power supply is switched off.

If the movers attract each other and collide, serious injuries to the fingers from crushing and in the eyes from splinters can result.

WARNING

Transport the mover with the safety pictogram facing upwards

Always transport the movers with the safety pictograms facing upwards. The underside of the mover must be in the transport securing device. The transport securing device weakens the magnetic field of the mover.

Incorrectly inserted movers can attract magnetic objects or other movers, resulting in serious injuries to fingers from crushing and to eyes from splinters.

WARNING

Do not use magnetic tools

The included permanent magnets can attract used tools. Use non-magnetic tools to remove and install all bumpers.

If magnetic tools are attracted, serious injuries to the fingers from crushing and in the eyes from splinters can result.
