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
with the same diameters for locking both the original and the key blank
: 1,20 mm and 1,70 mm;
It is essential to use pins
.

The bars provided are used for cutting pin keys and as a tip rest for locking keys with no stop (fig. 34).
Cutting cruciform keys using bars
The cruciform keys (90°) can be cut with the DUO clamps and the aid of the bars.
Positioning cruciform keys:
1) Leave the gauges in the idle position.
2) Insert the bars with neck into the slot in the clamps.
3) Butt the key stop against the bars.
4) Secure the keys in the clamps.
5) Remove the bars from the clamp grooves to prevent it being touched by the tracer point or cutting
tool.
6) Cut the first side.
7) Repeat the operation, turning the keys in the same direction for the other positions.

For correct disposal please refer to current standards.
INFORMATION FOR USERS OF PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT
From "Actuation of Directive 2012/19/EU regarding Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)"
The symbol of a crossed waste bin found on equipment or its packing indicates that at the end of the
product’s useful life it must be collected separately from other waste so that it can be properly treated
and recycled.
In particular, separate collection of this professional equipm ent when no longer in use is organised and
managed:
a) directly by the user when the equipment was placed on the market before 31 December 2010 and the
user personally decides to eliminate it without replacing it with new equivalent equipment designed for
the same use;
b) by the manufactur er, that is to say the subject which was the first to introduce and market new equip-
ment that replaces previous equipment, when the user decides to eliminate equipment placed on the
market before 31 December 2010 at the end of its useful life and replace it with an equivalent product
designed for the same use. In this latter case the user may ask the manufacturer to collect the existing
equipment;
c) by the manufacturer, that is to say the subject which was the first to introduce and market new equip-
ment that replaces previous equipment, if it was placed on the market after 31 December 2010;
Suitable separate collection for the purpose of fo rwarding disca rded equi pment for recycli ng, treatm ent
or disposal in an environmentally friendly way helps to avoid possible negative effects on the
environment and human health and enco urages re-use a nd/or recycling of the ma terials making up the
