Instructions for Safe Handling of Neodymium Magnets.
Neodymium magnets surpass other types of magnets in strength
Neodymium magnets are extremely powerful magnets that can be dangerous in certain situations. It is important to remember that neodymium magnets are very strong and can attract other metal objects, which can lead to injury or destruction to the body.
If you need to work with neodymium magnets, it is important to exercise caution and follow appropriate safety measures, such as wearing appropriate protective equipment (e.g., protective goggles), avoiding working with magnets near computers or other electronic devices, and keeping magnets apart from each other to prevent them from attracting and potentially causing harm or projectiles to be ejected in the event of impact, which can pose a threat to your eyes.
Neodymium magnets are also extremely hard and brittle, so it is advisable to avoid striking, throwing, or dropping magnets as they can easily break or split.
In conclusion, neodymium magnets are powerful tools that can be hazardous if not used with proper care, so it is important to observe appropriate safety measures when using them.
Seek medical assistance in case of significant injury.
To separate magnets, grasp the top magnet, remove it from the stack, and pull it apart swiftly.
You should not drill and heat neodymium magnets.
Children should NEVER be allowed to play with neodymium magnets.
When working with magnets, you should wear safety glasses or work gloves (if necessary).
When holding magnets in your hands, you should remember to keep your hands at a proper distance from each other.
Remember to keep your magnets at least 20 cm away from sensitive electrical devices and storage media.
Neodymium magnets retain their magnetic properties for centuries when properly handled and stored at room temperature.
Work on a metal table or alternatively on a surface such that the magnets stay in place, where you put them and not "fly" together to others.
Immediately apply ice to any pinched skin to reduce pain. In the case of contact with larger magnets, significant swelling can occur.
Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Although magnets have demonstrated their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, the temperature can vary depending on the type, shape, and intended use of the specific magnet.
If you have a nickel allergy, avoid contact with neodymium magnets.
Studies show a small percentage of people have allergies to certain metals, including nickel. An allergic reaction often manifests as skin redness and rash. If you have a nickel allergy, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other due to their immense internal force, causing the skin and other body parts to get pinched and resulting in significant injuries.
Neodymium magnets jump and touch each other mutually within a distance of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be placed near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other similar devices. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
It is important to maintain neodymium magnets away from youngest children.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play with them. In the case of swallowing multiple magnets simultaneously, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls. In the worst case scenario, this can lead to death.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
Magnets made of neodymium are especially fragile, which leads to damage.
Neodymium magnets are highly fragile, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crack. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel surface, but they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, sharp metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
Neodymium magnets are among the most powerful magnets on Earth. The surprising force they generate between each other can shock you.
Familiarize yourself with our information to properly handle these magnets and avoid significant injuries to your body and prevent disruption to the magnets.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
In the case of neodymium magnets, there is a strong magnetic field. As a result, it interferes with the operation of a heart pacemaker. However, if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the device when it is in a magnetic field.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
Magnetic fields interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation for air and sea transport, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Exercise caution!
