1.0 Introduction
The Punch Machine
™
(1200PCH), works on the same principle as the popular
1200CMB Code Machine (a known and proven system), but is more portable and
works without electricity. All that is needed to handle almost any code cutting
situation is included, and all the power you need is in the palm of your hand! The ease
with which changes can be made from one manufacturer’s specifications to another is
unparalleled!
In just a short time, you will be amazed to find that radically different set-ups, such
as Schlage to small Master to Best to double-sided Ford can be accomplished in an
average time of 10 to 30 seconds each.
State of the art code cutting is made possible through the use of cards that are inserted
beneath the lens. Quite often, just replacing the card is all that is required to change
from one manufacturer to another. No additional depth or space adjustments are required.
By inserting the correct card, selecting the proper punch and jaw, then moving the key
carriage both laterally and inward throughout the use of the two crank assemblies, the
key blank is positioned correctly beneath the punch.
A fully illustrated, step-by-step set of instructions are contained in the following pages.
Please be sure to spend some time reading and understanding all the steps thoroughly-
so that all of the unique capabilities of this versatile machine are fully understood.
IMPORTANT NOTE
This machine is designed to cut brass or soft steel key
blanks. The cutting of any hard steel or other alloys may
damage the machine.
