Hi, I actually answered this before.... When you operate the lever, 1/2 the magnets turn over, effectively short circuiting the magnetic field (ie every second magnet flips over). When the lever is in the lock position, all the magnets line up to send the field through the workpiece. It only takes a small amount of effort to operate the lever, because the magnets pivot, effectively cancelling the pull of the field.
