Using the key stops
The TECHNICA EU key-cutting machine is provided with two pairs of key stops: one pair (J) (fig. 11) is already
fitted to the clamps, the other pair (J2) is with the accessories in the tool box.
The difference between them is in the length of the pawl:
- the shorter pawl (J) is for use with keys where the diameter of the shaft is below 7 mm and/or in any case with keys
having a very low first cut.
- key stop (J2) is for use with keys where the diameter of the shaft is above 7 mm.

EPLACING THE KEY STOPS
1) Open clamps (M) and (M1) completely (fig. 15, page 12).
2) Unscrew the grub screws (Q) (fig. 15), remove the key stops and replace them.
3) Tighten the grub screws (Q).
