L. Secure keys properly in vises. Don’t hold key head for support when cutting. If it doesn’t clamp
properly, don’t try to cut it!
M. Maintain a sharp cutter wheel. A dull cutter wheel is not only inefficient but dangerous. A dull cutter
wheel can produce excessive cutting force on a key blank and exceed the machine’s vise jaws clamping
force to a point where the key blank could be ripped out of the machine.
N. Disconnect machine. When not in use, during servicing, or when changing cutter wheel and accessory
brush always disconnect the machine form its electrical power source.
O. Remove servicing wrenches. Remove all service tools from the machine before turning it on.
P. Always turn off machine. After cutting a key, turn off the machine before removing a cut key and
clamping another fresh blank.
Q. Always lock carriage back. After cutting a key, turn off the machine and lock the carriage back to
prevent accident or injury.
R. Outdoor use. When machine is used outdoors, use only extension cords suitable for outdoors and
that have a built-in third wire and ground terminal. NEVER CUT OFF THE GROUND TERMINAL
FROM THE MACHINE’S POWER PLUG!
S. Keep hands away from cutter and key blank. Keep hands away from rotating cutter. Do not
reach underneath or around cutter or key blank when cutter is rotating. Do not attempt to remove
key blank or key blank material while cutter is rotating.
T. Never use machine in an explosive atmosphere. For example, if your machine is in a service vehicle
with a fuel leak or spill, switching on the machine could ignite the fumes.
NOTE: A FLAMMABLE SOLVENT SPILL IN YOUR SHOP OR VAN IS EQUALLY DANGEROUS!
U. Inspect machine cord periodically. If damaged, repair at once.
V. Keep hands dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
W. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate machine when you are tired.
X. Do not use machine if switch does not turn the machine
ON
and
OFF
.
Y. Drugs, Alcohol, Medication. Do not operate machine while under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or any medication.
Z. The operation of any key machine can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before commencing key
machine operation. We recommend wide vision safety mask for use over spectacles or standard
safety glasses.

MOUNTING THE MACHINE
Drill two oversized ½” holes in your bench top to mount the machine. Use ½” – 13 bolts from your local hardware
store. Carefully turn the machine up-side-down and measure the spacing of the two tapped holes on the bottom
of your machine (be careful not to set the machine on the power switch). Turn the machine right-side-up and
place the machine where you want it on your work bench. Mark the bench and drill your holes.
