8.2.1 Using the accessories
The accessories provided with the DUO to assist key-cutting are:
•pins
•bars
Using the pins
The pins must be inserted between the bottom of the jaw and the back of the key for keys with narrow
stems, and their purpose is to ensure that the key protrudes sufficiently to be cut properly (fig. 33-B, fig.
33-C).
For keys with narrow, thin stems, two pins must be used (fig. 33-B) the second one to give a secure grip
on the key. If the key thickness is too fine to guarantee a good grip in the clamps, a pin must be used
(fig. 33-A).
ATTENTION:
the pins provided have two different diameters
: 1,20 mm and 1,70 mm;
It is essential to use pins
with the same diameters for locking both the original and the key blank
.
