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 U) only after completing the operations on the carriage (securing the
keys, etc...).
• Keep hands away from the cutting tool in motion.
8.1 Key cutting
Cutting can be carried out in two ways:
• with the carriage in a fixed position (locked carriage) (Attention: not available on Duo Brazil
version)
• with the carriage in a mobile/free position (carriage released)
ATTENTION: if cutting is carried out with the carriage in a fixed position, before proceeding release the
carriage not to be used (Attention: not available on Duo Brazil version).
ATTENTION: if cutting is carried out with the carriage in a free position, use handle (C) or (H) to raise and move
the carriage.
8.1.1 Carriage release (right or left-hand side)
Attention: not available on Duo Brazil version
- turn the carriage lock/release pin to the right (A1 or B1) (fig. 23).

1) Loosen the clamp closing knob by a few turns.
2) Raise the clamp (both jaws) and turn so that the re-
quired side is facing the tracer point and cutter.
