5. Release Object: To release the object, simply pull it off the magnetic tip.

Note: The maximum pull force is approximately 1.9 kg (4.18 lbs). Do not attempt to lift objects exceeding this weight.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the tool with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove dirt, dust, or metal shavings. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the tool in its retracted position in a dry environment to prevent corrosion and protect the magnetic tip. Keep it away from strong magnetic fields when not in use.
• Inspection: Regularly check the telescopic shaft for smooth operation and the magnetic tip for any damage or loss of magnetic strength.

7. Troubleshooting

Problem: Tool cannot pick up an object.

• Possible Cause 1: Object is non-ferrous (e.g., aluminum, plastic, wood).
