THE JAWS
The jaws rotate to allow perfect clamping of all cylinder keys against the back and the profile.
Side A & B of the jaws are used for keys that are cut on one side such as normal household cylinder
type keys. Jaw side A (shown in fig. 3) is used for keys with shallow cuts (min. 0.148” original key blade
width).
Jaw side B is used for keys with a deeper cut (min.original key blank width of 0.108”). Both of these jaw
positions are shown in fig. 4 below. Make sure that the keys are laying flat inside the jaw and the
shoulder is resting against the jaw face or against the key gauge (N).
Side C & D of the jaws are used for foreign car keys and keys that are cut on both sides. For double
sided keys that need to be clamped by the groove on the underside of the key, turn the jaws to side C
as shown in fig. 5.
Insert the key with the groove facing downwards, using the lip on the lower part of the jaw as a guide.
For keys with a flat surface, be sure they are inserted parallel to the base of the jaw.
For keys that are double sided that needs to be clamped by the groove on top of the key, the jaws must
be rotated to side D as shown in fig. 6.
Insert the keys with the groove upwards using the lip on the upper portion of the jaw as a guide.
Again make sure that the keys with smaller flat surfaces are inserted parallel to the jaw base.
IMPORTANT: the jaw handles have bearing discs and therefore require minimum pressure to
tighten them. The key is fully secured by “SNUGGING” the handles. It is recommended that you
keep from overtightening to avoid damaging the jaws over a period of time.
