Do not suspend yourself from the magnet or in any other way put yourself in danger should the magnet fail to hold on. Do not suspend objects that might cause injury or damage should the magnet fail to hold on.
Do not regard the magnet as a lifting device. There is no safety factor, SafeWorking Load (SWL) or Working Load Limit (WLL) defined for the magnet.
