BRAVO III with EZ-Jaw

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

7
Although the BRAVO III with EZ-Jaw key-cutting machine does not require special maintenance, it is
advisable to check and, if necessary, replace the parts subject to wear, such as: the belt, cutting tool,
brush, tracer point. Replacement is simple and can be carried out by the operator.
CLEANING: keep the carriage and clamps free of chippings from the cutting operations by
cleaning with a dry brush.
ATTENTION: DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR!
ATTENTION: to keep the machine well maintained we recommend using protective oil, e.g. WD40 or similar,
applied to the burnished mechanical parts. This prevents oxidation of the parts in question
(clamps, guides, carriages, etc.).
Before starting any type of maintenance (checks or replacements), read the instructions below:
• never carry out maintenance or servicing with the machine switched on.
• always remove the mains plug.
• follow all the instructions in the manual to the letter.
• use original spare parts.
• always check that screws and nuts are properly tightened.

• lock the carriage (D) if maintenance is to be carried out on any of its parts or on parts with
which it comes into contact (cutting tool and tracer point).
