Instructions for Safe Handling of Neodymium Magnets.
The strength of magnets neodymium is greater than other types of magnets
Neodymium magnets are incredibly strong magnets that can be hazardous in certain situations. It is important to remember that neodymium magnets are extremely powerful and can attract other metal objects, which can lead to harm or damage 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., safety 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 shards to be ejected in the event of impact, which can endanger your vision.
Neodymium magnets are also very hard and brittle, so it is advisable to avoid striking, throwing, or dropping magnets as they can quickly break or shatter.
In conclusion, neodymium magnets are powerful tools that can be hazardous if not used with proper care, so it is important to observe security precautions when using them.
Maintain magnets at least 20 cm away from sensitive electronic devices and storage media.
Work should take place on a metal table or on a magnetic surface. Magnets must be where you put them and also not "fly" simultaneously to others.
If you injure yourself and experience significant swelling, seek immediate medical help.
You cannot drill or heat neodymium magnets.
Children should NEVER be allowed to play with neodymium magnets.
When holding magnets in your hands, you should remember to keep your hands at a proper distance from each other.
To separate magnets, you need to grasp the top magnet and slide it out of the stack, then pull it apart swiftly.
Neodymium magnets retain their magnetic properties for many years when properly handled and stored at room temperature.
If you want to minimize pain, it is recommended to apply ice to pinched skin. In the case of larger magnets, such injuries can result in heavy bruises.
If you work with magnets, you should wear safety glasses and protective gloves (when needed).
Handle Neodymium Magnets Carefully
The magnet coating contains nickel, so be cautious if you have a nickel allergy.
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.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
Magnets are not toys, youngest should not play with them.
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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
Intense magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Magnets will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.
If you have a finger between or on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a serious cut or a fracture.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Although magnets have shown to retain their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, this temperature may vary depending on the type of material, shape, and intended use of the magnet.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by being fragile, which can cause them to crumble.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. They are coated with a shiny nickel plating similar to steel, but they are not as hard. In the case of a collision between two magnets, there can be a scattering of small sharp metal fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is essential.
Neodymium magnets are among the most powerful magnets on Earth. The surprising force they generate between each other can surprise you.

Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets can destroy magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, or other devices. They can also damage devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets should not be near people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate very strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This is because many of these devices are equipped with a function that deactivates the device in a magnetic field.
