the respective clamps.
• To make a copy, place the original key in the lefthand clamp and the key blank in the
right-hand clamp, making sure to:
- Support the key stop against the positioner.
- Press the clamp, keeping the blade of the key duly supported on the base of the clamp.
• Remove the positioners.
• Unblock the slide by pressing downwards, and drag it in this position towards the
extreme right. In this position, release the slide gently.
• Press the two start-up push-buttons at the same time (for some 3 seconds). These
buttons are the one on the left-hand side of the machine and the one on the front of it.
• The copying cycle will begin. This cycle will last approximately 30 seconds.
• At the end of the copying cycle, the cutter and the slide stop automatically.
• Block the slide again in its rest position by pressing downwards, and later release it
gently.
• Release the keys from the clamps.
• Activate the brush by using the left-hand side push-button in order to eliminate the
shavings.
NOTE: The front red pilot light is always on and indicates that the copier is being su-
pplied with power.
NOTE: For optimum operation of the machine, it is advisable to replace the cutter when
it is worn or blunt. It must be taken into account that the time the cutters lasts depends
on several factors (mainly on the material of the keys being copied) but as a guide the
cutter may be said to be capable of cutting some 5000 keys.
5.2.2 CUTTING KEYS WITHOUT SHOULDERS
Insert the two wedges (2) (See figure 10) into the vertical slots (R) of each clamp, de-
pending on the length of the key to be cut. Rest the tips of the keys against the wedges
(2). The keys are now adjusted. Then tighten up the clamps. Before starting the cutting
cycle, check that the start of the notching of the key is to the right of the tip of the feeler
(to make sure that all the teeth of the key will be reproduced), and that the head of the
key is to the left of the tip of the feeler (to make sure that there will not be an undesired
collision between the head of the key and the tip of the feeler).
5.2.3 CUTTING CROSS-SHAPED KEYS
• This type of key is copied on side 1 of the clamp.
• The keys must always be introduced into the clamps from left to right.
• Introduce the two wedges (5), with the opening or rebate facing upwards, into one of
the vertical grooves (R) of the clamp, depending on the length of the key to be copied.
• Support the tips of the keys against the wedges (5). The keys will thus be adjusted.
• Finally, press the clamps and withdraw the wedges (5).
• The cutting of the key is carried out in three ope-rations, turning and supporting each
time the stop of the key against the wedge (5).
• Before starting the cutting cycle, check that the start of the notching of the key is
to the right of the tip of the feeler (to make sure that all the teeth of the key will be
reproduced), and that the head of the key is to the left of the tip of the feeler (to make
sure that there will not be an undesired collision between the head of the key and the
tip of the feeler).

6.- MAINTENANCE
The Ecco Automatic duplicator machine requires no particular maintenance plan. Nonethe-
less, certain parts should be checked regularly and eventually replaced once they become
worn. This particularly includes the cutter, the brush, the tracer and the belt.
Maintenance operations should be carried out by qualified professionals with the neces-
sary protective equipment for working safely. The instructions provided in this manual
should be followed carefully when performing any maintenance tasks and the following
instructions should be followed in general:
Before starting any maintenance operation, the machine must be turned off and
disconnected from the electrical network. The operator must ensure that no one
can access the machine.
Do not carry out any maintenance operation while the machine is running.
Original spare parts must always be used. The "CE" mark is guaranteed only if
original spare parts supplied by the manufacturer are used.
After the replacement of a component, make sure that the corresponding screws
are properly fastened.
DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR AT ALL! To keep the jaws and the carriage clean
of metal chips, it is recommended to use the brush supplied with the machine.
ECCO AUTOMATIC
To protect the metal parts of the machine against oxidation, it is recommended
to use protective oil of the type WD40 or similar, applying it on clamps, tracers,
guides, etc...
6.1 CHANGING THE MILLING CUTTER
To change the cutter proceed as follows:
Turn off the machine using the general switch and disconnect the power cable.
• Loosen the two studs of the cutter guard and remove it momentarily.
• Using the two 18-size fixed spanners, block the axis of the cutter and release the nut
(K) –left-hand thread – securing the cutter (F).
• Replace the cutter and finally replace the cutter guard.
• After changing the cutter it is advisable to carry out a lateral and depth adjustment
of the copier.
See figure 12
6.2 CHANGING THE BRUSH
To change the brush proceed as follows:
Turn off the machine using the general switch and disconnect the power cable.
• Loosen the two studs of the cutter guard and remove it momentarily.
• Using the two 18-size fixed spanners, block the axis of the cutter and release the screw
(R) using an Allen key.
• Replace the brush and finally replace the cutter guard.
See figure 12
6.3 ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF THE SLIDE
This adjustment serves to protect the clamps from possible collisions between the feeler
and the cutter.
The distance between the cutter-feeler and the clamps should be about 0.15 mm. If this
distance is changed, proceed as follows:
• Unblock the slide and bring the clamps near to the feeler and the cutter. In order to do
this, follow the steps below:
- Place any key in the left-hand clamp and start the cutting cycle.
- When the feeler is more or less in the middle of the bit of the key, turn off the machine
by activating the general switch to the rear.
Disconnect the power cable as a security measure.
- Take out the key that was secured to the left-hand clamp.
• Loosen slightly the blocking stud (Z) using an Allen key.
• By turning the stop stud (W) clockwise or anticloc-kwise, the clamps can be moved
towards or away from the cutter and feeler.
• Once the distance adjustment has been carried out, block again the stop stud (W) by
using a blocking stud (Z).
• Finally, move the slide manually towards the furthest position on the right, and block it
by pressing downwards. Activate the general machine switch again. Take great care,
as when this switch is activated again the machine will start up instantaneously until
the cutting cycle that had been started before turning off the machine is completed.
See figure 13
7. WASTE DISPOSAL
Waste disposal should be managed according to the legislation in force in the
user's country.
The installer of the machine is responsible for managing
any waste correctly.
7.1 SWARF
The swarf produced during key duplication is classified as special waste and falls into the same
category of solid urban waste (SUW) as a metal scourer, for example.
Contaminated waste or waste containing toxic or harmful substances is considered as toxic or
harmful waste and must be disposed of according to the legislation in force in the user's coun-
try.
7.2 PACKAGING
The machine is supplied in cardboard packaging, which can be recycled with all other cardboard
packing material. It is considered as solid urban waste and should therefore be disposed of in
the special containers for cardboard.
