check the stop magnets, which may stick after the last stop
Explanation:
check the stop magnets, which may stick after the last stop

'efterses' - the s-passive often used in instructions = 'should be checked' or simply check

haenge (hænge) - stick or fail to return to their original position

didste is a typo for sidste

'foretage' = 'carried out' or something like that - is probably superfluous in English.
