7.2 Using the accessories
The accessories provided with the SMARTY 2000 to assist key-cutting are:
-
pins
- bars.
Using the pins
The pins must be inserted between the bottom of the jaw and the back of the key for keys with narrow
stems, and their purpose is to ensure that the key protrudes sufficiently to be cut properly (fig.10, fig.10-
C).
For keys with narrow, thin stems, two pins must be used (fig.10-B), the second one to give a secure grip
on the key.
If the key thickness is too fine to guarantee a good grip in the clamps, a pin must be used (fig.10-A).
ATTENTION: the pins provided have two different diameters: 1,20 mm and 1,70 mm. It is essential to use pins
with the same diameters for locking both the original and the key blank.

Using the bars
The bars provided (P) (fig.11) are used for cutting pin keys and as a tip rest for locking keys with no stop
(fig.12).
Cutting pin keys using bars
All types of pin keys (90°) can be cut with the SMARTY 2000 clamps and the aid of the bars.
Positioning pin keys:
1) leave the gauges in the idle position.
2) insert the bars with neck into the slot in the clamps.
3) butt the key stop against the bars (P) (fig.11).
4) secure the keys in the clamps.
5) remove the bars (P) from the clamp grooves to prevent it being touched by the tracer point or cutting
tool.
6) cut the first side.
7) repeat the operation, turning the keys in the same direction for the other positions.
