OPERATION AND FUNCTION

DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

  • Disconnect the rear plug from the power supply to perform this operation in complete safety and make it impossible for the cutter to start moving.

  • Secure the two adjustment keys (R) in “side 1” of the clamps so that the upper edge of the adjustment key is in contact with the inner face of the clamp (J).

  • Raise the carriage to move the clamps closer to the cutter (C) and the probe (T).

  • Position the tip of the probe (T) against the flat edge of the adjustment key. While in this position, manually rotate the cutter one full rotation in the opposite direction to standard operation.
    – If the cutter brushes against the adjustment key slightly, this indicates that the depth has been set correctly.
    – If the cutter rotates freely, this indicates that the cutter is set back from the probe and the cutting gear is set too shallow. The depth requires adjustment.
    – If the cutter remains stuck against the adjustment key, this indicates that the cutter is set forward from the probe and the cutting gear is set too deep. The depth requires adjustment.

  • To adjust the cutter depth, move the micrometric probe as follows:
    – Loosen the stud bolt (S) to release the probe but leaving the stud bolt (S) very gently touching the hidden part of the probe. This will avoid any involuntary rotation of the probe when moving it forwards or backwards
    – Rotate the control wheel (W) clockwise to move the probe backwards.
    – Rotate the control wheel (W) anticlockwise to move the probe forwards.

  • Once the depth has been adjusted, re-secure the probe using the stud bolt (S).
    See figure 7
    OPERATION AND FUNCTION

LATERAL ADJUSTMENT

  • Lateral adjustment is fixed and calibrated during factory assembly. It will therefore not need to be adjusted. You can check that this calibration has been performed correctly as follows:
  • Disconnect the rear plug from the power supply to perform this operation in complete safety and make it impossible for the cutter to start moving.
  • Secure the two adjustment keys (R) in “side 1” of the clamps so that the upper edge of the adjustment key is in contact with the inner face of the clamp (J).
  • Ensure that the positioner support faces (H) coincide perfectly with the upper edges of the adjustment keys (R). If this is not the case, loosen the positioner screw (H) on the right-hand side and re-secure it in its correct position.
  • Raise the carriage to move the clamps closer to the cutter (C) and the probe (T).
  • Insert the tip of the probe (T) into the notch on the adjustment key (R). While in this position, manually rotate the cutter one full rotation in the opposite direction to standard operation. Ensure that the cutter brushes slightly against the notch of the adjustment key.
    See figure 8
    OPERATION AND FUNCTION

KEY COPYING

  • Rotate the clamps towards the side you will use for holding the keys.

  • Insert the original key into the left-hand clamp so that the notched section more or less coincides with the edge of the clamp. With the key in this position, secure it in place by rotating the lever (A).
    – When using SIDE 1 or 2: support the shaft of the key correctly on the base of the
    clamp.
    – When using SIDE 3 or 4: correctly insert the key guide into the clamp guide.

  • Insert the blank key into the right-hand clamp and align the two keys as follows:
    – Raise the positioners using their handle and support them against the upper edges of the keys.
    – With the blank key in this position, secure it in place using the lever (A).
    NOTE: Both the original key and the blank key should be inserted from the left-hand side of their clamps.
    – Remove the positioners from the keys so they do not interfere with the key cutting
    process.

  • Switch on the machine so the cutter begins to rotate.

  • Bring the keys towards the cutter (C) and the probe (T). Remember that you should work from left to right.

  • Press the original key against the probe and begin the duplication process, moving the carriage assembly sideways by operating the carriage movement control (G).

  • After completing the duplication process:
    – Return the carriage assembly to its rest position.
    – 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
    OPERATION AND FUNCTION

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 lever (A). Repeat this process with the blank key.
  • Remove the chocks (Y), raise the carriage assembly and begin the duplication process.
    See figure 10
    OPERATION AND FUNCTION

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 probe.
  • Insert the original key into its clamp until the key tip rests against the chock (X). With the key in this position, secure it in place by rotating the lever (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.
    See figure 11

SAFETY

The following recommendations are provided for your own safety:

  • Do not attempt to start or operate the machine until all safety, installation, operation and maintenance instructions have been followed and understood.

  • Always disconnect the power supply before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance.
    Attention! It is necessary to activate the switch twice in a row to start it for the first time for safety reasons.

  • Keep the machine, as well as its surroundings, clean at all times.

  • Work with dry hands.

  • Always use safety goggles, even if the machine is already fitted with protective panels.

  • Make sure the machine is earthed.

WASTE DISPOSAL

Waste refers to any substance or object from human activities or natural cycles that is abandoned or intended to be abandoned.

PACKAGING

  • The packaging used to ship the NOMAD is made of cardboard. It can therefore be recycled as packaging.
  • Such waste is considered as solid urban waste and can therefore only be thrown away in the special containers used for cardboard.
  • The objects that protect the machine inside the cardboard box are made of polymeric material considered as solid urban waste and can therefore only be thrown away in normal waste disposal facilities.

SWARF

  • The waste from key cutting operations is classified as special waste but considered as solid urban waste, similar to a metal scouring pad for example.
  • This waste must be disposed of according to how it is classified under current EU regulations by delivering it to special waste disposal facilities.

MACHINE

  • The machine must be decommissioned before being disposed of by cutting off the power supply and separating the plastic parts from the metal parts.
  • Once this is done, all the waste may be disposed of in compliance with the laws in force in the country where the machine is used.
