CUTTING OPERATIONS

ATTENTION: for complete safety during the cutting operations, take the following precautions:
• Always work with dry hands.
• Check that the machine is properly earthed.
• Wear protective goggles even if the machine has a protective shield over the cutting tool.
• Start the motor (switch P) only after completing the operations on the carriage (securing the
keys, etc.).
• Keep hands away from the cutting tool in motion.
6.1

Key cutting

When BRAVO III with EZ-Jaw has been turned on by means of push button (C), it is ready for cutting
but the cutting tool is not rotating (because the carriage is held in the idle position). Now the original key
and the blank can be placed in the jaws, ready for cutting.
S
ECURING THE KEYS IN THE JAWS
Position the key blank (right-hand jaw) and original (left-hand jaw), ensuring that:
a) the keys are resting properly on the bottom of the jaw.
b) the key stop butts against the gauge (K) (fig.15) or the key tip is up against the stop bar
(fig.16).
c) close the jaws by turning the knobs (F).
T
O TURN THE CLAMPS
- With loosened handle (F) a light rotation of the clamp is sufficient (gripping by the 2 jaws) to turn
it to the required side. Alignment is automatic and guaranteed by the mobile pressure device (E1).
• for keys placed flat, such as those with cuts on one side only, position the clamps as shown
in fig. 6, page 8 (side A of the clamps).
• for keys with cuts on both sides, turn the clamps as shown in fig. 6, page 8 (sides B and D of
the clamps).
