this means that the height of the tracer is calibrated.
2) the tracer touches the keY but the cutter does not: if this happens, raise
the position of the tracer. this can be done as follows:
- activate the tracer movement spring by moving the corresponding lever.
-
unlock the tracer adjustment wheel by slightly loosening the locking nut.
-
lower the machine head until the tracer is supported on a straight part of the key.
-
turn the tracer adjustment wheel anticlockwise until the cutter and tracer touch their
respective keys at the same time.
-
once in this position, lock the tracer adjustment wheel again by tightening the locking
nut.
3) the cutter touches the keY but the tracer does not: if this happens, lower
the position of the tracer. this can be done as follows:
- activate the tracer movement spring by moving the corresponding lever.
-
unlock the tracer adjustment wheel by slightly loosening the locking nut.
-
turn the tracer adjustment wheel approximately one rotation clockwise until the point
of the tracer is in a lower position than the point of the cutter.
-
therefore, this is the same scenario as point "2" (the tracer touches the key but the
cutter does not).
-
Follow the instructions for point 2.
3. CUTTING
3.1
CUTTING PROCESS
turn on the machine by activating the general switch located on the back right of the
machine.
the led lighting will automatically be activated to improve visibility in the area of work.
with the help of the table included in this manual, select the cutter and tracer required
to cut the key.
change the cutter and tracer.
secure the original key in the left part of the clamp and the key to be cut in the right.
when securing the keys, bear in mind the following details:
- end oF the keY: key ends may vary.
- adaPtor: some specific key models may require the use of an adaptor.
Perform the vertical adjustment of the tracer.
activate the systems that simplify the duplication work:
- tracer: activate or deactivate the tracer movement spring, based on the type of
key to be cut.
- slide: based on the key model, the locking of the slide can be activated in the
direction of the X axis.
start the cutter by flicking the corresponding switch.
Proceed to cut the key.

KEY CUTTING
3.2.1
sea-1 keY
use the drill/tracer: F-3 / P-3.
secure the key in the clamp.
Vertically adjust the tracer.
the tracer must be locked (deactivate the movement spring).
lower the tracer slightly. (to do this, move the adjustment wheel by turning it roughly
1/10 of a rotation).
afterwards, the tracer must be entered into the groove and the machine head should
be locked.
after that, raise the position of the tracer slightly to ensure it does not drag the key.
note: enter the middle of the groove, without touching the sides, and on the second
entry, enter on the right side and exit on the left, without applying pressure (only lightly
supporting the tracer).
note: For the duplication of side points, use the F-1 / P-1 cutter/tracer. activate the
tracer movement spring.
See figure 4
3.2.2
oP-wh.P and oP-wY.P keYs
use the drill/tracer: F-11 / P-11.
secure the key in the clamp.
Vertically adjust the tracer.
the tracer must be locked (deactivate the movement spring).
lower the tracer slightly. (to do this, move the adjustment wheel by turning it roughly
12
1/10 of a rotation).
afterwards, the tracer must be entered into the groove and the machine head should
be locked.
after that, raise the position of the tracer slightly to ensure it does not drag the key.
note: we recommend performing a first rough cut and then performing a finishing cut
following the whole profile of the key. this should be done starting at the tip of the key
and moving towards the head.
See figure 5
3.2.3
hu-haa.P keY
use the drill/tracer: F-11 / P-11.
secure the key in the clamp area designed exclusively for securing a hu-haa.P key.
secure the key.
Vertically adjust the tracer.
the tracer must be locked (deactivate the movement spring).
lower the tracer slightly. (to do this, move the adjustment wheel by turning it roughly
1/10 of a rotation).
afterwards, the tracer must be entered into groove and the machine head should be
locked.
after that, raise the position of the tracer slightly to ensure it does not drag the key.
note: enter the middle of the groove, without touching the sides, and on the second
entry, enter on the right side and exit on the left, without applying pressure (only lightly
supporting the tracer).

3.2.6
ka-2, ka-3 and ka-4 keYs
depending on the key model to be duplicated, a different cutter/tracer pair will be
used. see table.
depending on the key model to be duplicated, the use of an ad-5º, ad-15º or ad-45º
