ALIBRATING THE KEY COMBINATOR
Occasionally you will need to calibrate your combinator’s cutting depth
to make sure that keys are being cut properly.
Cutting a
calibration key
To cut a calibration key:
1. Gripping the key clamp knob, pull the key carriage completely
forward.
2. Turn the key clamp knob counterclockwise to open the key clamp
spring (for left-handed combinators, turn the key clamp knob
clockwise). See
Figure 3.2 ( page 3–4 ).
3. With the curved edge of the key blank against the locating surface,
slide the key blank into the key opening. Make sure that the knife
edge of the key clamp spring fits into the groove of the key. See
Figure 3.3 ( page 3–5 ).
4. Turn the key clamp knob clockwise, locking the key blank into the
key carriage (for left-handed combinators, turn the key clamp knob
counterclockwise).
The key clamp knob hangs loosely in the six o’clock position, as
shown in
Figure 3.3 ( page 3–5 ).
