Press this button for the lighting diodes to come on (if they are off) or to go off
(if they are on).
FUNCTION button.
Press this button to go to the ADJUSTMENT function (if you are in COUN-
TER function) or to go to the COUNTER function (if you are in ADJUSTMENT function).
MODE button.
Press this button (when you are in COUNTER function) to display the TOTAL
COUNTER for three seconds.
After this time, the display automatically returns to the PARTIAL COUNTER.
RESET button.
Press this button (when you are in COUNTER function) to reset the PARTIAL
COUNTER. That is to say, back to "0".
ADJUSTMENT lights.
Using the ADJUSTMENT function, these lights indicate the following:
- Left-hand light on: Indicates that the TRACER is in contact with its adjustment TEM-
PLATE.
- Right-hand light on: Indicates that the CUTTER is in contact with its adjustment TEM-
PLATE.
- Both lights on: Indicates that the TRACER and the CUTTER are in contact with their
respective adjustment TEMPLATES.
DISPLAY.
• Using the COUNTER function:
- Displays the number of keys cut since the last time the counter was reset to "0"
(PARTIAL COUNTER).
- Press the MODE button to display for 3 seconds the total number of keys cut since the
machine was purchased (TOTAL COUNTER).
• Using the ADJUSTMENT function, it provides information about the direction to
turn the adjustment wheel:
- If a LINE appears, this indicates that neither the cutter nor the tracer is in contact with
the adjustment key.
- If an arrow appears pointing LEFT, this means that you have to turn the adjustment
wheel ANTICLOCKWISE.
- If an arrow appears pointing RIGHT, this means that you have to turn the adjustment
wheel CLOCKWISE.
- If an arrow appears indicating BOTH DIRECTIONS, this means that the machine is
ADJUSTED.
N.B.: If the machine has not been used for 20 minutes, it goes into STANDBY status.
That is to say: the lighting diodes and the screen switch off to save energy. It is easy
to recognise this status, as a small indicator in the form of a red dot will appear on the
display. If you release the slide or press any of the buttons on the display, the machine
will return to its previous operating status.
3.2 CHANGING THE SIDE ON THE CLAMP
See figure 6
The side on the clamp can be changed in two different ways:
A) TRADITIONAL METHOD
• Unscrew the clamp knob (B) at least 2 turns.
• Insert your fingers into the bottom of the clamp (M) and raise it overcoming the force
of the spring.
• Gently turn the clamp in the direction you want and then release it.
• Manually turn the clamp until it engages into the next side.
B) SEMI-AUTOMATIC METHOD
• Unscrew the clamp knob (B) at least 2 turns.
• Half turn the knob (G) in the direction you want.
• Manually turn the clamp until it engages into the next side.
3.3 ADJUSTMENT BY ELECTRICAL CONTACT
3.3.1 DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
See figure 7
• Switch off the machine using the start switch (round red switch), in order to be able
to carry out the operation, making it impossible for the cutter to move.
• Clamp the adjustment templates (W) onto "side 1" of the clamps, so that the bottom
shoulder of the adjustment template is in contact with the inner face of the clamp (J).
- Clamp the template with the letter "P" in the left-hand clamp.
- Clamp the template with the letter "F" in the right-hand clamp.
• Press the FUNCTION button to go from the COUNTER function to the ADJUSTMENT
function. A line will appear on the display.
• Release the slide by pressing the button (M).
• Rest the tracer (P) and/or cutter (F) on the flat part of the adjustment template.
- If the two adjustment lights come on: This indicates that both the cutter and the tracer
are in contact with their respective adjustment templates. The machine is adjusted.
Moreover, an arrow pointing in both directions will appear on the display.
- If the left-hand light comes on: This indicates that the tracer is in contact with its
adjustment template, but that the cutter is not. In this case, the machine requires depth
adjustment.
- If the right-hand light comes on: This indicates that the cutter is in contact with its
adjustment template, but that the tracer is not. In this case, the machine requires depth
adjustment.
• When the machine is not adjusted, an arrow appears on the display indicating the
direction you have to turn the adjustment wheel (A), to make the necessary adjustment.
- Undo the setscrew (Z) so that the tracer shaft is released, but leaving the setscrew
(Z) gently touching the tracer shaft. This will prevent the tracer shaft from accidentally
turning during the depth adjustment phase.
- Move the tracer forward or back, turning the adjustment wheel (A), in the direction
shown by the arrow on the display.
• Once the adjustment has been made, lock the tracer again by means of the setscrew.
• Lock the slide, remove the adjustment templates and press the FUNCTION button to
return to the COUNTER function.
N.B.: The tracer depth adjustment system has a reference drum (O) which facilitates
the particular adjustment operation. To reset the tracer, make the white line on the
reference drum (O) coincide with the white line on the graduated drum (N), in the fo-
llowing way:
- With one hand, firmly hold the adjustment wheel (A).
- With the other hand, turn the reference drum (O).
Each notch on the graduated drum corresponds to a variation of 0.05 mm. in the tracer
depth.
3.3.2 SIDE ADJUSTMENT
See figure 8
• Switch off the machine using the start switch (round red switch), in order to be able
to carry out the operation, making it impossible for the cutter to move.
• Clamp the adjustment templates (W) onto "side 1" of the clamps, so that the bottom
shoulder of the adjustment template is in contact with the inner face of the clamp (J).
- Clamp the template with the letter "P" in the left-hand clamp.
- Clamp the template with the letter "F" in the right-hand clamp
• Make sure that the support faces of the positioners (H) coincide perfectly with the top
shoulders of the adjustment templates. If this is not the case, undo the right positioner
tightening screw and tighten it up again in the right position.
• Press the FUNCTION button to go from the COUNTER function to the ADJUSTMENT
function. A line will appear on the display.
• Using the slide traverse lever (U), move the slide to the stop on the left-hand side.
With the slide in this position, release it by pressing the button (M), and bring it closer
to the cutter (F) and the tracer (P), until the slide itself can go no further.
• Move the slide sideways, until the side of the template comes into contact with the
side of the tracer and/or cutter.
- If the two adjustment lights come on: This indicates that both the cutter and the tra-
cer are in contact with their respective adjustment templates. The machine is laterally
adjusted. Moreover, an arrow indicating both directions will appear on the display.
- If the left-hand light comes on: This indicates that the tracer is in contact with its
adjustment template, but that the cutter is not. In this case, the machine needs side
adjustment.
- If the right-hand light comes on: This indicates that the cutter is in contact with its
adjustment template, but that the tracer is not. In this case, the machine needs side
adjustment.
• When the machine is not adjusted, an arrow will appear on the display indicating the
direction you have to turn the adjustment wheel (R), to make the adjustment necessary.
- Undo the setscrew (T) on the tracer support (S).
- Move the tracer support sideways, turning the adjustment wheel (R) in the direction
indicated by the arrow on the display.
- Once the adjustment has been made, lock the tracer support again, by tightening the
setscrew (T).
• Lock the slide, remove the adjustment templates and press the FUNCTION button to
return to the COUNTER function.
