OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS
- Switch off the machine so the cutter stops rotating.
- Release the keys from the clamps.
- If the duplication process produced any burrs on the
copy, these can be removed using the brush that is
provided with the machine for this purpose.
See Figure 9
5.3.1 Copying keys with a narrow blade
To duplicate this type of key and in order for the cutter to
reach maximum depth in the key to be copied, "Side 2" of
the clamp should be used.
5.3.2 Copying a key with no shoulder
- Insert the chocks (Y) into one of the vertical slots on one of
the four sides of the clamps.
- Insert the original key into its clamp until the key tip rests
against the chock (Y). With the key in this position, secure it
in place by rotating the knob (A). Repeat this process with
the blank key.
- Remove the chocks (Y), raise the carriage assembly and
begin the duplication process.
See Figure 10
5.3.2 Copying a cruciform key
- Use SIDE 1 of the clamp for this type of key.
- Insert the star key chocks (X) into the vertical slots in the
clamps so that the gap in the chock is facing the cutter or
tracer probe.
- Insert the original key into its clamp until the key shoulder
rests against the chock (X). With the key in this position, se-
cure it in place by rotating the knob (A). Repeat this process
with the blank key.
- Raise the carriage assembly and begin the duplication
process.
- These keys have three notched blades. So the same steps
will need to be repeated twice more for the remaining two
key blades.
