1. Introduction
The NEIKO 10901 Welding Holder Arrow Magnet is a versatile tool designed to securely hold metal objects at precise angles during welding, soldering, and other metalworking tasks. Its unique arrow shape allows for quick positioning at 45, 90, and 135-degree angles, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in various applications.
2. Safety Information
- Magnetic Field: This product contains strong magnets. Keep away from electronic devices, credit cards, pacemakers, and other items sensitive to magnetic fields.
- Pinch Hazard: Exercise caution when handling to avoid pinching fingers between the magnet and metal surfaces.
- Secure Placement: Always ensure the magnet is firmly attached to the workpiece before beginning any work. Do not rely solely on the magnet for heavy or unstable objects.
- Cleanliness: Keep the magnetic surfaces clean and free of debris to ensure maximum holding strength.
3. Product Overview

5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Positioning Metal for Welding/Soldering
To use the arrow magnet, simply place it against the ferrous metal workpieces you wish to join. The magnet will automatically align the pieces at one of its predefined angles.
- 90-Degree Angle: Use the inner corner of the arrow shape to hold two pieces of metal at a perfect right angle.
- 45-Degree Angle: Utilize the outer edges of the arrow to achieve a 45-degree angle between two workpieces.
- 135-Degree Angle: The inverse of the 45-degree angle, this can be achieved by using the broader outer angle of the magnet.
5.2. Applications
This welding holder is suitable for a variety of tasks, including but not limited to:
- Metal fabrication
- Construction projects
- Assembly work
- Marking-off measurements
- Pipe installation
- As a floater to separate steel plates
- Holding light objects and tools
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the magnet clean with a dry cloth after each use to remove metal shavings and dust. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the magnet in a dry place, away from sensitive electronic equipment and other magnetic media.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the magnet for any signs of damage or wear. Discontinue use if the magnet is cracked or severely damaged.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Magnet not holding securely | Surface is not ferrous metal; Surface is dirty or uneven; Object is too heavy for the magnet's pull force. | Ensure workpiece is made of iron or steel. Clean magnetic surfaces. Use multiple magnets or a magnet with higher pull force for heavier objects. |
| Angles are not precise | Workpiece edges are not flush with the magnet; Magnet is damaged. | Ensure workpieces are properly seated against the magnet's edges. Inspect magnet for damage; replace if necessary. |
