GENERAL WARNINGS
MATRIX is designed to the principles of European Standards (CE).
Right from the design stage solutions have been adopted to eliminate hazards for the operator in all the stages
of use: handling, regulation, use and maintenance.
The materials used in manufacture and the components employed in using MATRIX are not dangerous and
ensure that the machine complies to current standards.
Silca S.p.A. has also experimented and applied numerous technical solutions that allow the key-cutting machine
to optimize the quality of the cut keys.
To guarantee maintaining these results over time, please follow the instructions below:
•
Observe the procedures described in this manual;
•
Always use Original Silca Tools as they are designed to make the best of MATRIX and provide quality key-
cutting;
•
Use Silca key blanks, made with top quality materials;
•
Have the key-cutting machine checked periodically by an authorized Silca After-Sales Service Centre (list at
the end of this manual); always use Silca Original Spare Parts. Beware of imitations!
NORMAL USE
MATRIX is a key-cutting machine and must be installed and used according to the rules and specifications
established by the manufacturer.
Any other use different from that indicated in this manual will cause the forfeiture of all customers’ rights to make
claims on Silca S.p.A. and may be an unknown source of hazard for the operator or third parties.
ATTENTION: Negligent use or failure by the operator to observe the instructions
in this manual are not covered by the warranty and the manufacturer declines any
responsibility in such cases.
RESIDUAL RISKS
On the Matrix key-cutting machine there is a residual risk of injury
in the cutter spindle area (cutter rotating) if the vertical axis for laser
cuts is blocked.
Furthermore, the MATRIX key-cutting machine has residual risks
when gaining access to parts in motion (not fully protected) and the
risk of chippings flying into the air during the key copying process.
These residual risks in the product are reported in special warnings
(“ATTENTION MOVING PART HAZARD”) and involve the obligatory
use of personal protective devices (GOGGLES).
