Introduction

This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the safe and effective use of your Sealey AK960 Heavy-Duty Magnetic Stand. Please read thoroughly before operation to ensure proper handling and to maximize the lifespan of your tool.

Product Overview

The Sealey AK960 is a heavy-duty magnetic stand designed for precision measurement applications. It features a strong magnetic base for secure attachment to ferrous surfaces, an articulated arm for flexible positioning, and a fine adjustment control for precise indicator placement.

Safety Information

Adhering to these safety guidelines is crucial for preventing injury and damage to the equipment.

• Always ensure the magnetic base is securely engaged before attaching any measuring instrument or beginning work.
• Avoid placing the magnetic stand near sensitive electronic equipment when the magnet is active, as it may cause interference.
• Handle the articulated arm and fine adjustment mechanism with care to prevent damage.
• Keep the magnetic base clean and free from debris, such as metal chips or dust, to ensure maximum holding force.
• Do not attempt to modify the stand or use it for purposes other than its intended design.

Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the magnetic stand from its packaging. Verify that all components are present, including the heavy-duty magnetic stand itself.
2. Positioning the Base: Place the magnetic base on a clean, flat ferrous surface. Ensure the surface is free of dirt, oil, or metal chips that could reduce magnetic adhesion.
3. Activating the Magnet: Rotate the control knob on the magnetic base to the 'ON' position to engage the magnet. Confirm the stand is firmly secured to the surface before proceeding.
4. Attaching an Indicator: Loosen the combination dial and scribing clamp. Insert your dial indicator or scribing tool into the clamp. Tighten the clamp securely, ensuring the indicator is held firmly without over-tightening, which could damage the instrument.

Operating Instructions

1. Adjusting the Articulated Arm: Loosen the rotary lock knob on the articulated arm. Position the arm to bring the indicator close to the desired measurement point. Tighten the rotary lock knob to secure the arm's position.
2. Fine Adjustment: Use the fine adjustment control knob to make precise, small movements of the indicator for accurate positioning against the workpiece.
3. Taking Measurements: Once the indicator is precisely positioned, proceed with your measurement task according to the specific instructions for your measuring instrument.
4. Deactivating the Magnet: When finished with measurements, rotate the control knob on the magnetic base to the 'OFF' position to release the stand from the surface.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the stand with a clean, dry cloth after each use. For stubborn grime, a mild, non-abrasive cleaner can be used, ensuring no liquid enters the magnetic mechanism.
• Storage: Store the magnetic stand in a clean, dry environment. It is recommended to store the magnet in the 'OFF' position to prevent accidental attraction to other tools or surfaces.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the articulated arm joints and clamps for signs of wear or damage. Ensure all knobs turn smoothly and securely.
