General points
The DAKAR EXPRESS key cutting machine has been
designed taking into account the safety standards
currently in force in the EU.
The safety of personnel involved in the handling
of this type of machines is only achieved with a
well designed program in terms of worker safety,
the implementation of a maintenance program and
following recommended advice as well as compliance
with the safety standards included in this manual.
Although the machine is not difficult to install, it is best
not to try to install, adjust or handle it without having
first read this manual.
The machine leaves our factory ready for use and only
requires the carrying out of calibration operations for
the tools that are going to be used.
