6.5

Checking set codes (Ford - Jaguar)

The machine can cut both Ford and Jaguar keys following a simple operation to carry out on the coded
angle device. To check the current setting, proceed as follows:
1) place the key blank tip into the rotating clamp (A) and push up against the tip stop groove (A2).
2) continue to push, and check that the key is in the vertical position (fig.15) and the number "1" is

visible in the window. If necessary, turn the key until it is properly positioned.

3) check the reading on the drum (A4). If the letter "F" is visible the device is set for cutting Ford keys,

if the letter "J" is visible the device is set for cutting Jaguar keys.The machine leaves our workshops
set for cutting Ford keys.

6.6

Setting the coded device

The change the coded device setting from FORD to JAGUAR and vice versa, proceed as follows:
1) place the key blank tip into the rotating clamp (A) and push up against the tip stop groove (A2)

(fig.14, page 12).

2) hold the key head firmly and use the left hand to loosen the screw (P) (fig.17) with the wrench

provided.

3) exert slight pressure in the direction of the arrow (fig.17) and unscrew the screw (P) slowly so that

the cylinder (A3) protrudes a few millimetres (fig.16).

4) use the key head to turn the cylinder 90° in the direction of the arrow.
5) let the cylinder (A3) withdraw and press on the key head to tighten screw (P). The cylinder must

return freely into its seat. If necessary, seek its proper position by turning the key slightly in the two
directions.

6) turn the key 90° to pull the coded angle device. The letter visible on the drum (A4) will now be

different, as will the colour of the numbers in the window (A5).

Coded key-cutting

To cut a key blank by code, see the instructions below:
1) check that the coded device has been properly set for the type of key to be cut (see points 6.5 and

6.6).

2) place the key blank into the rotating clamp (A) and push against the tip stop groove (A2) (fig.14, page

12). Hold the key down in the rotating clamp (A) and tighten the grub screw (A1) with the wrench
provided.

3) set the cutting position on the coded spacing device by means of knob (E2) (fig.16). Exert pressure

on the head to turn the key and turn the angle counter (Q) (fig.17) until the required code is visible
in the window (A5).

4) start the machine with the motor/brush start switch (D).
5) take the carriage towards the cutting tool, ensuring that the tracer point enters the locating groove

all the way (fig.16). When the cut has been made, move the carriage back and turn the key until the
same code appears in the window (A5), after the number "1" has appeared. Repeat the cutting
operation.

6) when the cut has been made, move the carriage back and give the key a half turn until the same

code appears in the window (A5). Repeat the operation described in point 5.

7) the key has now been cut on both sides for the first cutting position. Go on to the following position

and repeat the cutting operations with the relevant code, and so on until all the cuts have been
made.

8) pull back the carriage, turn off the machine, loosen the grub screw (A1) and remove the key.
