7 MACHINE INSTALLATION AND PREPARATION
Installation is the customer’s task and does not require any special skills.
The key-cutting machine is supplied ready for use and does not need calibration except for the tools to be used;
however, the operator is required to make certain checks and prepare the machine for use.
7.1 CHECKING FOR DAMAGE
MATRIX is a solid compact machine and will not break if handling, unpacking and installation are carried out to
the instructions in this manual. However, it is good practice to check that the machine has not been damaged.
7.2 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
To make the most of the key-cutting machine, bear in mind the following environmental parameters: it is advisable
for the area to be dry with good air circulation.
The optimum environmental conditions for machine operation are:
-
temperature 10° C to 40° C;
-
relative humidity: approx. 60%.
7.3 POSITIONING
1) Place the key-cutting machine on a solid horizontal work bench suitable for the weight of the machine (24,6
Kg). The work bench should be approximately 100-120 cm high to facilitate access to the working parts. We
recommend leaving at least 30 cm clearance behind and around the machine to ensure good ventilation and
facilitate handling (Fig. 11).
2) Make sure machine voltage is suitable for the mains supply and that the latter is earthed with a differential
switch.
3) Connect the power lead to the machine.

returns the switch must be reset manually to provide the machine with voltage.

When push button (D1) is not activated there is no risk of involuntarily or accidentally moving the lever (D) and
preventing the motor from starting.
