4.5 Fitting the clamp to the machine
Fit the clamp into the carriage dovetail, push all the way in and lock by means of the knob (P2) (fig.
17).
Although Quattrocode is designed to take up to 16 different clamps (identified progressively from
"J1" to "J16") the instructions refer only to the clamp provided (J1). The other clamps are all
provided with their own instructions.
4.6 Turning the mobile jaw (P1) on clamp ‘J1’
Clamp "J1" is supplied with mobile jaws (P1) which can be reversed (sides A and B) to facilitate
locking (on side B) of special profile Mercedes keys (corresponding to Silca articles HU41P,
HU41AP, HU44AP, HU55P, HU61AP) without the need for additional adapters (fig. 17).
When side B is in use the display shows a message.
Fig. 17
To take the jaw (P1) into position B, proceed as described below:
1) move the jaw upwards then to the left (fig. 18-A);
2) from this position, turn the jaw 90° to the left (fig. 18-B);
3) raise the jaw as shown in fig. 18-C and turn 90° to the left (fig. 18-D);
4) move the jaw to the right fig. 18-E).
To take the jaw to its initial position (fig. 17), carry out the same process in reverse order.
