BAUSATZ MINILOO CAPTURE | KIT MINILOO CAPTURE
Neodymium magnets(for the Kildwick MiniLoo)
Please observe the following advice explaining how to handle the magnets
safely. Neodymium magnets are not toys! Always keep the magnets away from
!
children.
•
Children might swallow small magnets. If several magnets are swallowed,
they can get stuck in the intestines and cause life-threatening
complications.
•
Magnets are made of metal and conduct electricity. If children put
magnets into an electrical outlet, they will receive an electric shock.
Large magnets are very strong. Always wear thick protective gloves when
handling large magnets.
•
Fingers and skin can easily get caught between two magnets, causing blood
blisters or other injury.
•
Very large magnets are so strong they can even cause bone fractures.
Magnets can interfere with pacemakers and implanted defibrillators.
•
A pacemaker could be switched by a magnet to test mode, causing
discomfort.
•
Under certain circumstances, defibrillators may cease to work correctly.
•
Warn anyone with a pacemaker not to get too close to neodymium
magnets. They should keep the following distances away from them:
•
Pacemaker (new) – 82mm
•
Pacemaker (old) – 104mm
Neodymium magnets are brittle. If two magnets slam together, they may
shatter. Sharp splinters can fly several metres and cause eye or other injury.
•
Prevent possible collisions between magnets.
•
Wear eye protection when handling large magnets.
•
Make sure that any people near you are also protected.
Magnets generate a strong, far-reaching magnetic field and can damage
televisions and laptops, computer hard drives, credit and debit cards, data
storage media, mechanical watches, hearing aids, loudspeakers and other items.
•
Keep magnets away from all objects that could be damaged by strong
magnetic fields.
•
Keep safe distances as follows:
•
Valuable magnetic cards (credit and debit cards, bank cards) – 19 mm
•
Cheap magnetic cards (car park tickets, exhibition tickets, etc.) – 55 mm
•
Mechanical watches, antimagnetic (ISO 764) – 42 mm
•
Non-antimagnetic mechanical watches – 230 mm
•
Hearing aids – 26 mm
•
Hard drives – unknown
When machining neodymium magnets, drilling dust can easily ignite.
•
Always use appropriate tools and sufficient cooling water – or just don't
drill them in the first place!
Most magnets contain nickel, even those without nickel plating. Some people
are allergic to contact with nickel.
•
Nickel allergies may develop following prolonged contact with objects
containing nickel.
•
Therefore, avoid permanent skin contact with magnets.
•
Avoid contact with magnets if you already have a nickel allergy.
Magnetic fields and permanent magnets do not have any measurable positive or
negative effects on humans. Although the magnetic field of a permanent
magnet is unlikely to constitute a health risk, this cannot be entirely ruled out.
•
For your own safety, avoid constant contact with magnets.
•
Large quantities of magnets should be kept at least one metre away from
your body.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Most neodymium magnets have a thin nickel-copper-nickel coating to protect
against corrosion. This coating may flake off or crack due to sharp impact or
high pressure. This will make the magnets more susceptible to environmental
influences such as moisture, causing them to oxidize.
•
Use a piece of cardboard to keep large magnets separate.
•
Always prevent magnets from colliding with each other and avoid sharp
impact and other mechanical stress.
Untreated neodymium magnets oxidize rapidly, causing them to decay. Most
magnets therefore have a thin coating (see preceding paragraph). Although this
coating provides some protection against corrosion, it is not resistant enough
for permanent outdoor use.
•
Only use the magnets in dry spaces indoors and protect them against
environmental influences.
•
Avoid damaging the coating.
Neodymium magnets have a maximum working temperature of between 80 and
200°C. However, most magnets permanently lose some of their strength at
temperatures of 80°C and above.
•
Try not to use your magnets in places where they are exposed to extreme
heat.
•
If you need to use an adhesive for your magnets, don't use hot air to speed
up the hardening process.
Neodymium magnets are brittle, heat-sensitive, and oxidize easily.
•
When drilling or sawing a magnet with unsuitable tools, the magnet may
break
•
Any heat arising may demagnetize the magnet.
•
Damaging the coating could cause the magnet to oxidize and decay.
Don't try to machine magnets if you don't have the right tools and lack the
necessary experience.
Magnets are completely harmless for the following electrical items:
•
Cameras, mobile phones, smartphones (data storage media will
not be harmed)
•
Car keys
•
USB drives and memory cards
•
CDs and DVDs
The magnets for the Kildwick MiniLoo have been specifically designed for this
use only. Please do not use them for any other purpose.
If you return the MiniLoo to us, please note the following:
•
The magnets should be packed in just the same way as you received them.
If you're not sure, contact us or your shipping company beforehand.
