Important information about magnets

The following must be taken into account when using, installing and working with magnets:

1. The magnets must be stored in a dry place at room temperature, in the safety packaging, closed!

2. Persons with PACEMAKER should refrain from using magnets, magnetic devices and systems. If the use or approach of such devices is essential, please consult your doctor in order to avoid possible accidents!

3. Permanent magnets are not toys, children can only use them under parental supervision! The magnet cannot be used as a toy. Take extra care to keep the magnets out of the reach of children. Magnets that have reached the intestinal tract can cause serious internal injuries, magnets are not recommended for children under 10 years of age!

4. In some cases, the surface protection of magnets can cause metal allergies, and they can cause allergic reactions in those sensitive to metallic materials.

5. Magnetic devices, elementary magnets, can exert an attractive force even from a considerable distance, with large magnets this increases the risk of injuries and accidents.

6. Permanent magnets are hard, fragile, brittle materials, when they collide, many sharp, small pieces of splinters can break off, which increases the risk of accidents. Always wear appropriate protective equipment (protective gloves, goggles, dust cover, etc.) when working with magnets!

7. Permanent magnets are surrounded on all sides by a magnetic field, which can affect sensitive electronic and mechanical equipment and influence their measurement results.

8. Magnetic fields can adversely affect computers, monitors, discs, credit cards, other data carriers operating on the magnetic principle, and devices operating on the magnetic principle (e.g.: electric meter, gas meter, water meter, transformers), so permanent magnets must be kept at a sufficient distance from them to keep

Influence of consumption measuring equipment is punishable by law, do not place the magnet on the consumption meter or other equipment operating on the magnetic principle, even as a test, because it may cause permanent damage to their operation!

9. When transporting magnets by air, the IATA regulations must be taken into account. The packaging of the magnets must be solved in such a way that the magnetic field does not cross the wall of the packaging.

10. Do not try to work on magnets in an explosive environment, do not inhale the dust generated during their work or the smaller parts!

11. In the case of magnets requiring surface protection, damaged surface protection can lead to corrosion. Magnets must be stored in a dry place.

12. Permanent magnets must not be placed in a radioactive environment, rare earth magnets are explosive in a radioactive environment!

13. Always take into account the maximum working temperature when working with magnets, at temperatures above the working temperature, the magnetic properties of the magnets decrease.

Frequently asked questions, important information

- EUROMAGNET HUNGARY Kft. assumes no responsibility for damages resulting from improper use of magnets. Please read the accident prevention instructions and other information carefully before working with magnets!

- Magnets are fragile, brittle materials, and due to their hardness, they can easily break or crack if used improperly. Never leave the magnets too close to each other, because they can easily collide and break, and the magnets colliding in this way can easily cause injuries if the cracks fly apart. Always wear safety glasses and gloves!

- Magnets are not suitable as toys for children, never leave your child unattended with the magnets, because there is a risk of children plugging the magnets into the socket or swallowing them. Swallowed magnets can cause serious internal injuries if they get stuck in the intestines, so the magnet is not recommended for children under 14 years of age!

- Magnets pose a danger to electronic equipment , credit cards, and data carriers. Never place magnets in close proximity to them. A larger magnet can also interfere with pacemaker devices - in case of doubt, be very careful. Magnets can easily cause bruises, so it is recommended to use the appropriate protective equipment. Always make sure to place the magnets at a sufficient distance from each other.

- The cover of the nickel-plated top layer may rub off or tear off even with regular use. Magnets are usually coated with a thick coating of nickel, gold or silver, but when the magnets collide repeatedly, the pressure at the connection point is high, which inevitably leads to the coating disappearing, wearing or splitting. Larger magnets should therefore preferably be separated from each other with cardboard, Styrofoam, wood or soft paper and should not be kept on a metal surface for a long time.

- Do not attempt to saw or drill the magnets under any circumstances, as the magnets may break. Magnets can only be machined with special diamond tools and continuous cooling. Keep magnets away from open flames and heat. (At temperatures above 80 degrees, neodymium (N series) magnets quickly lose their magnetism.)

- Most supermagnets are nickel plated. Nickel allergy is a very common disease, it is very easy to get it if a person comes into permanent contact with objects that contain nickel. In most cases, these allergic reactions occur when a person wears jewelry containing nickel or comes into permanent contact with a nickel-plated object. If you have a nickel allergy, avoid prolonged contact with these items.
