NOTE: before starting the cutting process the L100 clamp (of cutting) key gauge will automatically
tilt itself to its rest position.
USING THE PINS (ONLY WITH STANDARD CLAMP)
For keys with narrow stems the pins must be placed between the bottom of the clamp and the back of the key so
thatthekeyprotrudessufcientlyoutoftheclampandthereforecanbeproperlyreadandcut.
If the key has a narrow stem and is also very thin, 2 pins must be used (Fig. 22).
Fig. 22
If the original key is broken, place a suitable sized pin in the groove of the keys stem so that it is properly held in
place and therefore can be copied (Fig. 23).
NOTE: the diameter of the pin used for the original key must be the same as that of the pin used for
the blank key; only in this way will the two keys be locked in the same position.

ATTENTION: never use pins with the Automatic Clamp.
