Care & Maintenance
Care & Maintenance
▪ Clean the magnetic face after every use. Remove wet slurry immediately and scrape off dried concrete.
▪ Use compressed air to clear dust from the push-button mechanism.
▪ Apply a light coat of form oil or rust-preventative spray to the face and housing after cleaning.
▪ Always place the magnet gently onto the bed - do not drop it.
▪ Store indoors in a dry area with the button in the UP (disengaged) position.
▪ Use timber or cardboard spacers when stacking units to stop magnets snapping together.
▪ Never weld near the magnet - heat will permanently damage the magnetic field.
Safety Information
