10 MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION: when repairing or replacing parts the “CE” label is guaranteed only if
original spare parts provided by the manufacturer are used.
The MATRIX key-cutting machine does not need special maintenance, but it is good practice to check and if
necessary replace parts subject to wear: belts, lamp and vertical carriage spring.
Replacement operations are simple and can be performed by the operator.
CLEANING: it is advisable to keep the carriage and clamps clean by regularly brushing away the swarf deriving
from cutting operations.

WD40 or similar to apply to the burnished mechanical parts. This will prevent oxidation
of the parts in question (clamps, guides, carriages...). Make sure the oil does not come
into contact with the electronic parts.
Before performing any type of maintenance (checks or replacements) read the warnings below:
• do not perform any maintenance operations with the machine on.
• always disconnect the power lead.
• follow the instructions in the manual carefully.
• use original spare parts.
