CUTTING FIAM KEYS WITH SQUARE STEM
CUTTING FIAM KEYS WITH SQUARE-ROUND STEM
Clamp: S1- K1 =
indicates which clamp (
S1
) and tailstock (
K1
) to use for gripping the key.
Stop 0 =
reference or positioning point on the key cutting clamp.
Cutter: 1.25 =
thickness of the cutter currently selected (press SHIFT+ENTER to change thickness)
Brass/Steel =
material of the key (press SHIFT+ ? to change material)
ATTENTION: always check that the wording corresponds to the material of the key.
The key blank to be cut must be positioned according to
the parameters given on the display after selecting the
program involved; the type of key with front stop requires
the use of the rotating clamp (S1), the “K1” tailstock
support and the key reference on “Stop 0”.
Please follow the instructions below carefully, and
observe the order of operations.
1) Loosen the knob (T1) by turning it anticlockwise until
the rotating clamp (S1) can be moved to a convenient
distance for fitting the key.
2) Orient the standard tailstock (K1) for male keys in the
special seat on the support, using the screw (V2) to
direct it upwards.

3) Take the ‘T’ wrench (T4) from its seat and open the
rotating clamp jaws by turning the sunk hex. screw
(V1); at the end of the operation leave the T wrench in
the screw (V1).
4) Fit the key blank into the rotating clamp (S1) from the
front, positioning the square stem over the "V" on the
grips diagonally so that the left-hand bit is sloping
downwards (fig. 54 and fig. 55).
5) Close the mobile clamp jaws slightly, using the T
wrench already in the screw (V1), without gripping the
key stem; move the rotating clamp (G) towards the
tailstock, keeping a minimum safety distance of 10 mm
between the rotating clamp jaws and the rear limit of
the bit. Secure the rotating clamp in position by means
of knob (T1).

6) Hold the key head with the left hand and push towards
the tailstock, making sure that the bits butt up against
the grips on the tailstock (K1); simultaneously transfer
the ‘T’ wrench (T4) onto the tailstock screw (V2) and
secure the key tip (fig. 56).
7) Transfer the ‘T’ wrench (T4) onto the screw (V1) and
tighten the grips on the key stem.
8) Replace the ‘T’ wrench in its seat, lower the mobile
safety shield and begin the process with START.
To remove the key after cutting, carry out the operations
described, in reverse order.
