Disclaimer: Edgetech Industries LLC, the owner of edge-techind.com, does not assume or accept any liability for damages resulting from the handling or use of magnets. By purchasing our magnets, you confirm that you have read and understood the following warnings and agree that you are fully responsible for all damages and injuries caused by the magnets, including personal injuries, property damages, and magnet damages. You must agree to these terms before making a purchase. Please note that the pull forces we provide are estimates only, and we are not responsible for any inaccuracies in magnet pull force. We strongly recommend testing the pull force before using our magnets.
1. Big Magnet Warning Notice
Our neodymium magnets are extremely powerful and must be handled with care to avoid personal injuries, property damage, or damage to the magnets themselves. Magnets that are 2 inches cube or larger can cause severe injuries, such as broken bones or crushed fingertips, if they snap together or pinch skin. Always keep a safe distance between large magnets and handle them with caution.
2. Small Magnet Warning Notice
Small magnets pose a choking hazard and should never be swallowed or inserted into any part of the body. They are particularly dangerous for children and should be kept out of their reach. Swallowing small magnets can lead to serious internal injuries or even death. By confirming your order, you accept full responsibility for the safety of children, animals, and anyone else who may come into contact with these magnets.
3. Safe Handling of Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are brittle and can break or splinter if they collide or are mishandled. To prevent injuries:
- Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when handling these magnets.
- Be cautious of flying splinters or spacers that may disengage during use.
Temperature Sensitivity
- Standard neodymium magnets will lose their magnetic properties if heated above 175°F (80°C). For high-temperature applications, we offer specialized high-temperature neodymium magnets.
Magnetic Field Hazards
The strong magnetic fields of neodymium magnets can damage or interfere with:
- Electronic devices (e.g., televisions, computer monitors, credit cards, hard drives, and hearing aids).
- Mechanical watches, loudspeakers, and other sensitive equipment.
- Pacemakers or other medical implants. Maintain a minimum distance of 3 feet from these magnets if you have such devices.
Children and Magnets
- Children should never handle neodymium magnets. Small magnets are a choking hazard and can cause serious harm if swallowed.
Modification and Disposal
- Do not cut, drill, or saw neodymium magnets. This can cause them to break, and the dust produced is highly flammable.
- Never burn neodymium magnets, as they release toxic fumes when heated.
4. General Safety Guidelines
- Always handle magnets with care, especially larger ones, to avoid pinching or crushing injuries.
- Keep magnets away from children, pets, and individuals with medical implants.
- Store magnets in a secure location, away from electronic devices and other sensitive equipment.
- Test the pull force of magnets before use to ensure they are suitable for your application.
Conclusion
Neodymium magnets are powerful tools with a wide range of applications, but they must be handled responsibly to ensure safety. By following these guidelines, you can minimize risks and use magnets safely and effectively. At Edgetech Industries LLC, we prioritize your safety and encourage you to reach out to us with any questions or concerns about magnet handling and usage.
