Safety instructions for handling magnets
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 MINI Cooper, 2018 MINI Cooper, 2017 MINI Cooper, 2016 MINI Cooper, and 2015 MINI Cooper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Precautionary measures are necessary when handling magnets in order to exclude any potential danger.
If the distance between the magnets falls below the minimum distance, the magnets will be abruptly attracted to each other. The brittle magnets will then collide with each other at high speed.
Very sharp splinters (similar to glass splinters) may then be chipped off.
Crush or cut injuries may also be caused.
Observe the manufacturer's safety data sheets.
WARNING:
- Danger of crush injuries
- Injury hazard due to splinters
- Injury hazard due to magnetic fields
Handling instructions
- Wear safety goggles and hand protection.
- Persons with heart pacemakers must not use the magnets.
- Do not store any iron parts (tools, small parts) close to the magnets.
- Keep magnets away from magnetic data media (credit cards, memory cards).
- Do not machine the magnets.
- Keep the magnets away direct heat and naked flames.
- Do not eat, drink or smoke while working with these products.
