9  CUTTING

ATTENTION: Please see the following warnings to ensure completely safe cutting 

operations:

Always work with dry hands.

Check that the machine is earthed.

Wear the safety goggles even when the machine has a safety shield.

Start the motor only after completing the following operations:

fitting keys into the clamps

fitting and calibrating tools.

Keep your hands out of the way of the cutter in motion.

For each cutting operation make sure the clamp is in the horizontal position (reference notch 0) except

when keys need inclined cuts.

Cut the key only if calibration has taken place:

insert the necessary tools

turn on the key-cutting machine

disable the tracer point spring

proceed with calibration

9.1  FITTING KEYS

1) Take the clamp carriage towards the operator until you feel the limit switch click.
2) Insert the original key into the left-hand clamp and the key to be cut into the right-hand clamp, taking care to:

type of stop on key (Ch. 8.6.1)

choice of key seat (Ch.8.6.1).

secure the keys with the knobs (E) (E1).

9.2  KEY STOP

The notches 0-1-2-3 on the clamp are used according to the type of key stop:

0: for keys with back stop (towards head - Fig. 40).

1-2-3:  for keys with tip stop (Fig. 41)

Choice of stops 1 - 2 - 3 is determined by the length of the key stem.

ATTENTION: the cutting path must always lie within the clamp surface.
