| Carefully remove all items from its packaging ensuring all of the contents are included. Remove the metal disc (keeper) and protective plastic disc from the magnet.
The easiest way to do this is to slide the magnet with the palm of your hand.
---|---
| Locate the screen preferably with two people to position the poles or use a
measuring tape.
| Before attaching any magnets or adhesive discs please ensure the surface is
clean and flat. Use the cleansing wipes provided to clean the surface. Allow a
minimum of 60 seconds to dry.
| Take the provided adhesive discs and remove the protective layer.
| With firm pressure, press the adhesive disc onto the cleaned surface in your
previously measured positions.
Allow the adhesive to take for at least 60 minutes before attaching the magnet. The longer the adhesive is allowed the take the better the result.
| With the metal discs in position, carefully lower the poles at a 45-degree
angle towards the disc. A snap-in-place with the disc and magnet central to
each other.
| For the front & service shields roll up any excess film around the pole to
increase tension before placing down the second magnet.
| For the L Shield and U Shields, place the additional poles and magnets on
the desired disc before wrapping the screen around the corner pole. As with
the front shield, roll up the excess film around each end pole to increase
tension and place the final pole and magnet onto its disc.
Avoid over-tightening the film.
Ferrite & Neodymium Magnet Heath & Safety Information
IMPORTANT HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION
You MUST read this safety advice BEFORE handling these magnets to avoid
personal injury and/ or damage to your magnets.
LIABILITY
‘Supplier’ does not accept any responsibility for damage caused by the
improper handling of these magnets. These magnets have a surprising amount of
magnetic power and if handled incorrectly can be dangerous. With the purchase
of these magnetically secured type screens, you confirm that you have read,
understood, and acted on the following warnings. Please ensure that all
personnel using or working close to these screens have read and understood
these warnings.
MAGNETS LEAPING TOGETHER
If two magnets are placed loosely apart they could leap together unexpectedly,
with extreme speed and force, which could shatter and break both magnets and
could injure your finger if it is caught in between. Flying chips are sharp
and could be a danger to the eyes. Handle only one magnet at a time.
NIPPING
When large ferrite magnets are brought close enough together, they can have a
surprising amount of power. Fingers can quickly become caught between them
resulting in a painful nip or bruise.
DANGER OF BREAKING OR CHIPPING
Magnets slamming together is the most common cause of broken magnets. Magnets
are brittle and if placed close enough to each other two magnets will
potentially jump together with sufficient force to crack and chip. Due to the
force exerted by the magnets, it is possible that chips may fly off at high
speed into someone’s eye, therefore we advise that when handling more than one
magnet that you wear eye protection. Chips and broken magnets can also be
quite sharp, so treat them as carefully as you would broken glass.
RESIDUE
Ferrite magnets are commonly supplied without any plating or coating. The raw
ferrite material is not corrosive and not harmful, but it is dusty and can
leave a residue on the skin when handling, which is easily removed with warm
water.
NICKEL ALLERGIES
These magnets are coated with nickel. If you have a nickel allergy prolonged
contact with skin may cause irritation.
DEMAGNETISATION
Stronger neodymium magnets can cause a change of magnetization direction or
demagnetization in ferrite magnets. Store ferrite magnets at least 5 cm away
from neodymium magnets and do not mix those types of magnets.
DANGERS FOR CHILDREN
DO NOT allow children to play with these magnets, even with supervision, they
are powerful, will cause trapping injuries and as with any small part can be
fatal if swallowed. Magnets are not toys! Make sure that children don’t play
with magnets.
HEART PACEMAKERS
Keep magnets away from heart pacemakers. The operation of heart pacemakers
will be affected by the close proximity of a magnet. Magnets can set a
pacemaker working in a way that is not suitable for the user and that might
affect their health.
MAGNETICALLY SENSITIVE ITEMS
Magnets produce a far-reaching, strong magnetic field so you should always
keep magnets at a safe distance (200mm+) from all objects that can be damaged
by magnetism. These include mechanical watches, heart pacemakers, Tv’s,
laptops, computer hard drives, data media storage devices.
Disclaimer
These methods of installation make no claim to being comprehensive but should
be used as a guide. Always employ safe practices.
A risk assessment and method statement should always be prepared.
