GENERAL WARNINGS

FUTURA PRO is designed to the principles of European Standards (CE). Right from the design stage solutions have been adopted to eliminate hazards for the operator in all the stages of use: handling, regulation, use and maintenance. The materials used in manufacture and the components employed in using FUTURA PRO are not dangerous and ensure that the machine complies to current standards. Silca S.p.A. has also experimented and applied numerous technical solutions that allow the key-cutting machine to optimize the quality of the cut keys. To guarantee maintaining these results over time, please follow the instructions below:

• Observe the procedures described in this manual;

• Always use Original Silca Tools as they are designed to make the best of FUTURA PRO and provide quality key-cutting;

• Use Silca/Ilco key blanks, made with top quality materials;

• Have the key-cutting machine checked periodically by an authorized Silca After-Sales Service Center (list at the end of this manual);

• Always use Silca Original Spare Parts. Beware of imitations!

NORMAL USE

FUTURA PRO is a key-cutting machine and must be installed and used according to the rules and speciﬁ cations established by the manufacturer. The FUTURA PRO key-cutting machine is designed for use on business or industrial premises (e.g. hardware shops, key cutting centers, etc...). Any other use different from that indicated in this manual will cause the forfeiture of all customers’ rights to make claims on Silca S.p.A. and may be an unknown source of hazard for the operator or third parties.

A TTENTION: Negligent use or failure by the operator to observe the instructions in this manual are not covered by the warranty and the manufacturer declines any responsibility in such cases.

ATTENTION: Anodised aluminium keys, plastic keys or any other key without electrical conductivity CANNOT BE decoded!

• All visitors, especially children, must stay at a safe distance from the machine and must never come into contact with the electric wiring.

Operating manual FUTURA PRO

1 MACHINE DESCRIPTION

FUTURA PRO is an electronic machine operating on 3 axes with controlled movement. Accurately studied, it adds a high degree of cutting precision to operating speed and ease of use.

FUTURA PRO operates only when connected to a TABLET containing a Silca program. It uses a laser reader to read and/or codify ﬂ at keys with standard cuts. It uses a tracer to decode keys with dimple and/or track cuts. It can cut keys (in ferrous materials in general, brass, silver nickel, etc.) having:

• Standard cuts

• Dimple cuts

• Track cuts

• Special cuts (e.g. Ford Tibbe - with optional accessory)

• Cuts on tubular keys (with optional accessory)

FUTURA PRO is used to cut the following types of keys:

1.2 SAFETY

FUTURA PRO is entirely built in compliance to the Machine Directives. The operations for which it has been designed are easily carried out with no risk to the operator. The adoption of general safety precautions and observation of the instructions provided by the manufacturer in this manual eliminate all human error, unless deliberate. FUTURA PRO is designed with features which make it completely safe.

• Safety shield

The protective shield is designed to cover the working parts as completely as possible, ensuring operator safety. The shield (C) must be raised in order to ﬁ t keys for cutting or carry out other operations (Fig. 7).

Raising the shield by means of a microswitch will deactivate the operating and movement functions, including the cutter, and failed shield closing will be notiﬁ ed with a special message on the tablet. To re-activate the work cycle, lower the shield and follow the instructions on the tablet.

Fig. 7

• Emergency stop

Use the red emergency button (R) (Fig. 5), located on the right-hand side of the machine to stop the machine immediately in the event of serious malfunctioning or a hazard for the operator. When the cause of the emergency has been eliminated, turn the button 45° clockwise to deactivate it.

NOTE: the operator is responsible for keeping the area around the button clear so that it can be reached as quickly as possible.

• Laser warning

Regulations require that warning label (supplied - chap.1.4) in the language to be used be attached to the optical reader, as shown in Fig. 8.

Operating manual FUTURA PRO

3 MACHINE INSTALLATION AND PREPARATION

Installation is the customer’s task and does not require any special skills. The key-cutting machine is supplied ready for use and does not need calibration except for the tools to be used and any additional jaws that are included with the machine; however, the operator is required to make certain checks and prepare the machine for use.

NOTE: the machine is shipped with a steel rod installed in the cutter shaft to prevent the allen screw from backing out during transit. REMOVE THE ROD AND INSTALL THE PROPER CUTTER PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING TO CUT A KEY!

3.1 CHECKING FOR DAMAGE

FUTURA PRO is a solid compact machine and will not break if handling, unpacking and installation are carried out to the instructions in this manual. However, it is good practice to check that the machine has not been damaged.

3.2 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

To make the most of the key-cutting machine, bear in mind the following environmental parameters: it is advisable for the area to be dry with good air circulation. The optimum environmental conditions for machine operation are:

- temperature 10° C to 40°C;

- relative humidity: approx 60%.

3.3 POSITIONING

1) Place the key-cutting machine on a solid horizontal work bench suitable for the weight of the machine (20 Kg). The work bench should be approximately 100-120 cm high to facilitate access to the working parts. We recommend leaving at least 30 cm clearance behind and around the machine to ensure good ventilation and facilitate handling (Fig. 10).

2) Make sure machine voltage is suitable for the mains supply and that the latter is earthed with a differential switch.

3) Connect the power lead (power pack) to the machine (chap.3.4.2).
