Health and Safety Guidelines When Operating a Degausser
Please note the following suggestions when using a degausser:
Watches: Remove your wristwatch when using the degausser. Direct exposure to the magnetic field may damage some watches.
Magnetic Strip Cards: Do not place your wallet or purse containing credit or phone cards directly on or above the conveyor belt. Magnetic strip cards are very easy to erase. However, having a wallet in your back pants pocket while using the degausser will not erase the cards.
Tape storage: Store videotapes you do not intend to erase approximately four feet from the degausser. This will eliminate the opportunity for the operator to accidentally run "good" tapes through the degausser.
Placement of Tapes: When erasing tapes, place them on the left edge of the belt (as you face the machine) in order they may travel the full length of the conveyor belt for quality erasure.
Pacemakers: Do not operate if you have a pacemaker.
