Nova 2000 Supplemental Operation Manual
4
The Nova 2000 is a precision engineered key machine specifically designed for
duplicating high security type keys. As shipped, the Nova 2000 will efficiently
duplicate high security “centerwinder” and “sidewinder” automotive keys (as used
by Mercedes Benz
®
, Saab
®
, Volvo
®
and others) as well as keys that fit various “dim-
ple key” lock systems. A wide variety of optional adapters and cutters are also
available that enable the Nova 2000 to duplicate keys for an even broader range
of high security lock products.
This unique key machine has the ability to duplicate keys to exacting specifica-
tions, resulting from the precise accuracy of its many parts. The Nova 2000 was
designed with the operator in mind, from the versatility of the vise jaws to the easy
one-handed operation of the machine.
Because of the precision nature of the vise jaws, avoid any abuse that will damage
or reduce their accuracy. Treat them with care and the jaws will help produce accu-
rate keys for years.
UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
When unpacking the Nova 2000, you will note the cushioning material and the
abundance of lubricating oils to prevent rust and corrosion. Before using this
machine, wipe off excess grease and oil. Lubricate only the moving parts. It is a
good idea to save the original packing carton for later shipment if necessary.
Place the key machine on a sturdy, level work bench with good lighting. The 115
VAC receptacle should be properly grounded. Do not use a two-prong plug adapter.
Unpack all cutters, key guides, and adapters. Wipe each part free of grease and
oil. Be sure to keep all operating parts as free as possible from cutting debris to
maintain trouble free operation. Store accessories in an organized manner, pro-
tecting them from damage or loss.
It is strongly recommended that this manual be thoroughly read by anyone who
plans to operate the Nova 2000. Fig. 1 should be studied in order to learn the gen-
eral operating parts of the machine and their nomenclature.
