8.1.1
Cutting short keys
If the keys to be cut are very short and do not touch the stop (Y) proceed as follows, observing the illustration.
1) Use the lever (Q) to lock the right-hand clamp in the horizontal position.
2) Lock the key blank into the right-hand clamp (M1) (as shown) (Fig.45).
3) Raise the carriage and place the right-hand side of the bit against the cutter. Lock the carriage in this position
with the knob (G).
4) Lock the original key into the left-hand clamp (M) (as shown), with the right-hand side of the bit up against the
tracer point. In this way the two keys will be perfectly aligned (Fig.45).
5) Release the knob (G) and take the carriage all the way back.
6) Lower the lever (Q) to release the right-hand clamp.
7) Turn on the machine with the ON/OFF switch (A).
8) Use the lever (L) to slowly take the carriage towards the cutter and press the button (B) to start the motor.
9) Hold the lever (R) slightly raised with the key facing downwards.
10) Take the cut closest to the original key tip against the tracer point (do not apply force, remember that the key tip
is not held) and lower the lever (R) to round off the cut.
11) Take the carriage back to come out of the cut. Move the carriage sideways and enter the next cut. Do not move
sideways once into the cut.
12) Complete all the bits in the same way and remove any excess material at the end of the cutting operation
(towards the head).
13) Take the carriage all the way back (the motor will stop automatically).
14) For double bit keys, turn both keys over and repeat the operations described above.
15) When the cutting operation is fi nished, take the carriage all the way back (the motor will stop automatically) and
remove the keys.
