EGULATING DEPTH SETTING
To regulate the depth settings, proceed as follows:
ATTENTION: disconnect the machine from the mains.
1) set up the coded spacing device by means of the knob (E2) so that the indicator "F" is aligned with
position "d" (fig.12).
2) insert the tip of the gauging calliper (provided) into the rotating clamp (A), push up against the tip
stop (A2) and lock in the calliper by tightening the grub screw (A1) (fig.13). The calliper must be
positioned horizontally as shown in the illustration; if adjustment is necessary use the hex wrench
provided to turn the screw (P) (fig.17, page 13) so that the drum (A4) turns clockwise.
3) take the carriage towards the cutting tool and place the tracer point (F) all the way into the locating
groove (E3) (fig.12, page 11).
4) check that the cutting tool enters clearly into the groove (A3) in the gauging calliper. If adjustment is
necessary, adjust axial gauging in the way described above ("Axial gauging regulation").
5) loosen the screw (F3) locking the tracer point unit (fig.5, page 4).
6) use the lateral brush (J) to turn the cutting tool shaft in the opposite direction to cutting. The cutting
tool should skim the bottom of the groove (A3) on the gauging calliper. If not, turn the ring nut (F2)
(fig.5, page 4) clockwise to move the cutting tool unit forward, or in the opposite direction to move it
back.
7) when the ideal regulation has been reached, tighten the tracer point locking screw (F3) (fig.5, page
4).
If an optional carriage is used, check that the tracer point enters freely into the locating groove (E3)
(fig.12, page 11) and that there is not excessive play on it. If necessary, adjust play between the locating
groove and tracer point by loosening the nut (O) and turning the grub screw (N).
When adjustment is complete, tighten the nut (O).
6.3 Cutting operations
ATTENTION: to work in complete safety, pay special attention to the following recommendations:
• Always work with dry hands.
• Check that the machine is properly earthed.
• Use the protective goggles, even if the cutting tool is fitted with a protective shield.
• Start the motor only when all the operations with the carriage have been carried out
(securing keys, etc.).
• Keep hands away from the cutting tool when in motion.

LACING KEYS INTO CLAMP
1) place the key blank into the rotating centering clamp (A) (fig.14).
2) push the key tip up against the tip stop groove (A2). Hold down the key and lock into the rotating
clamp with the grub screw (A1).
ATTENTION: when cutting original FORD keys with lights, before locking into the clamp detach the part containing
the electrical devices, otherwise the head is too big (fig.15).
