Congratulations!
You’ve purchased a superior key cutting machine.
The model 008B manually operated key machine you’ve
just purchased incorporates the latest improvements in
design for key duplicating machines of its type.
The machine features two-way vise jaws designed to
accommodate virtually any standard cylinder key, limiting
the need for adapters. Even double-sided automotive
keys can be duplicated with ease. The reverse side of the
vise jaw is ideally suited to gripping these keys and is
capable of gripping them in the groove or milling for
enhanced clamping performance when necessary (see
illustration on page 9).
Accurate, portable, easy to operate and maintain, the
model 008B delivers excellent performance at an
economical price!
Unpacking Instructions
After removing your 008B key from the shipping carton, it
should be set on a level workbench and wiped free of all
rust proofing oil. The machine is adjusted at the factory
and test keys have been cut on it, but it is recommended
that you check the adjustments to make sure they have
not slipped or shifted during transit (see page 12
”Adjustment For Depth of Cut”).
Safety
The 008B has been engineered to duplicate cylinder
(paracentric) keys. It is not intended or designed for any
other purpose. The machine operator assumes all liability
when using this machine in a manner inconsistent with its
stated design purpose. Refer to page 3 for complete
safety information before operating the machine.
KABA ILCO strongly recommends the use of protective
eye glasses or goggles when operating this machine, or
when in the vicinity of the machine while it is being
operated. Protective eye wear prevents injuries! The
machine should be turned off before loading or unloading
keys.
When the key machine is operating, be careful not to
bump the vise jaw or carriage against the cutting wheel
as this will cause damage to the cutter, jaw, or carriage.
Refer to pages 6 and 7 for illustrations.
Test Keys
A series of cut keys are supplied with your machine.
These keys were cut on your machine and represent the
result of our quality inspectors work before approving
your machine for shipment. The keys are reproductions
of factory dimensioned pattern keys and are accurate to
within .002” or less. You can save these keys and use
them as standards to check the accuracy of cuts in the
keys you make. Duplicating a key and then using a key
micrometer or caliper to compare the actual depth of the
cuts on both the duplicate and the pattern key will allow
you to see if your machine is cutting too deep or too
shallow, thus indicating that an adjustment of the cutter
guide is necessary.
Bench Mounting
The model 008B is designed to be portable and thus
easily moved from location to location as the need arises.
There is however, a provision for securing the machine to
a work bench or other suitable mounting surface. Simply
install the supplied wood screws through the 3
countersunk holes on the top surface of the machine
base when a more permanent installation is desired.
