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.
