This is because it uses Alnico type metal magnets
which must NEVER be removed from their associated pole
pieces (not even for milliseconds!) unless you have the
facilities to re-magnetise in situ after final assembly.

Does this mean that turning the base to the "on"
position when it is not in contact with a surface
to complete the magnetic circuit, will ruin it?
