- Mode switching knob
- Leveling indicator
- Micro adjuster
1. Mode switching knob is used to set the pre-position function, which is mainly used to cut the dimple key and improve the accuracy of the dimple position.
- When the mode selection is “Standard mode”, the pre-position function is turned off.
- When the mode selection is “Dimple mode”, the pre-position function is enabled. The height of the probe is lower than the height of the cutter with the spring, and it has the ability to return, so when cutting the dimple key, the probe will locate the characteristic point of the original key in advance, and guide the cutter to cut the blank key, so as to improve the accuracy of the dimple position.
Attention:
Probe micro adjustment should only be used in “Standard Mode”, otherwise the
accuracy of the cut key may be affected.

6. Clamp use
6.1 Key alignment
There are 2 ways of aligning keys: shoulder alignment and tip alignment.
-
The shoulder alignment position is shown below, the external key can be aligned with the stopper.
-
The head alignment position is shown below, you can choose the stopper according to the length of the key.
6.2 Methods to clamp certain keys
6.2.1 Clamping method for external keys
The clamping method for external keys is shown in the figure below, and must be used with pads and according to the key, choose the shoulder alignment or tip alignment method.
Attention:

is more versatile, if you have special key clamping questions, please consult
technical support.
6.2.2 Clamping method for internal keys
The clamping method for internal keys is shown in the figure below, and choose the shoulder alignment or tip alignment method.
Shoulder alignment
- Alignment position
Tip alignment
- Stopper
6.2.3 Clamping method for crescent-shaped keys
When clamping crescent-shaped keys, make sure that the bottom flat of the key completely fits the bottom of the clamp before clamping; and choose the shoulder alignment or tip alignment method.
6.2.4 Clamping method for plum keys
When clamping the plum key, it is necessary to do height positioning and circumferential positioning; height positioning can be used the cutter and probe as a positioning tool, circumferential positioning rely on the clamp on the V groove and the key on the circumference of the characteristics of the tab matching positioning, as shown in the figure:
6.2.5 Clamping method for single sided key
When clamping single-sided thin keys for residential use, since the key blanks are shorter and thinner than other key blanks, the black locking knobs on both sides at the rear of the clamp can be loosened to rotate the clamp counterclockwise by 45°, use the side grooves for clamping, and select either the tip alignment or shoulder alignment method according to the key type. This is shown in the diagram below:
- Both side knobs loosen counterclockwise and tighten clockwise
- Rotate clamp surface 45°
- Shoulder alignment
If there is any obstruction to the rotation of the knobs on both sides, the knobs can be gently withdrawn and rotated to adjust the position.
Tip alignment
6.2.6 Clamp adjustment
Clamps have been adjusted to the optimal state before leaving the factory, generally do not need to be adjusted separately, if the following conditions are encountered during subsequent use, can be adjusted in accordance with the following method.
- When the tip of the key holding is offset from side to side compared to the tail, loosen the 4 screws at the bottom of the clamp.
- If the tip of the key is more to the right than the tail, loosen the screws on the right side of the bottom of the clamp and tighten the screws on the left side.
- If the tip of the key is more to the left than the tail, loosen the screws on the left side of the bottom of the clamp and tighten the screws on the right side.
7. Maintenance
