1.- PReseNtAtION AND INtRODUCtION
1.1 geNeRAL
the nomad key cutting machine has been designed according to current eu safety re-
gulations.
Safety for the people who use this type of machine can only be achieved through a we-
ll-designed personal safety programme accompanied by implementation of a maintenance
programme while following the recommended advice, as well as compliance with the sa-
fety instructions contained in this user manual.
although installation of this machine is relatively simple, you should not attempt to install,
adjust or operate the machine without first reading this user manual.
the machine leaves our factory ready for use and only needs to be calibrated for the tools
that are going to be used.
1.2 tRANsPORt AND PACKAgINg
the machine comes inside a cardboard box with the following dimensions:
Width = 380 mm; height = 260 mm; depth = 210 mm.
machine weight (packaging included) = 7 kg.
When unpacking the machine, check carefully for any damage during transport.
if you find something out of the ordinary, immediately notify the carrier and do nothing with
the machine until the carrier's agent has performed the corresponding inspection.
1.3 IDeNtIFICAtION LABeL
the nomad key cutting machine comes with an
identification label that indicates the serial or machine
registration number, the name and address of the
manufacturer, the ce mark and the year of manufacture.

3.- OPeRAtION AND FUNCtION
3.1 DePtH ADJUstMeNt
• Disconnect the rear plug from the power supply to perform this operation in complete
safety and make it impossible for the cutter to start moving.
• Secure the two adjustment keys (R) in "side 1" of the clamps so that the upper edge of
the adjustment key is in contact with the inner face of the clamp (J).
• Raise the carriage to move the clamps closer to the cutter (C) and the probe (T).
• Position the tip of the probe (T) against the flat edge of the adjustment key. While in this
position, manually rotate the cutter one full rotation in the opposite direction to standard
operation.
- if the cutter brushes against the adjustment key slightly, this indicates that the
depth has been set correctly.
- if the cutter rotates freely, this indicates that the cutter is set back from the probe
and the cutting gear is set too shallow. the depth requires adjustment.
- if the cutter remains stuck against the adjustment key, this indicates that the cutter
is set forward from the probe and the cutting gear is set too deep. the depth requires
adjustment.
• To adjust the cutter depth, move the micrometric probe as follows:
- loosen the stud bolt (S) to release the probe but leaving the stud bolt (S) very gently
touching the hidden part of the probe. this will avoid any involuntary rotation of the
probe when moving it forwards or backwards.
