GENERAL WARNINGS
OMNIA 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 OMNIA 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 OMNIA and provide quality
key-cutting;
• Use Silca key blanks, made with top quality materials;
• Have the key-cutting machine checked periodically by an authorized Silca After-Sales Service Centre
(list at the end of this manual);
• Always use Silca Original Spare Parts. Beware of imitations!
ATTENTION: in the event of prolonged use, cutting extra thick bits or
keys in hard materials (iron, steel) we recommend using individual ear
protection devices.
NORMAL USE
OMNIA is a key-cutting machine (see chap.1) and must be installed and used according to the rules and specifi cations
established by the manufacturer.
The OMNIA key-cutting machine is designed for use on business or industrial premises (e.g. hardware shops, key
cutting centres, 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.
ATTENTION: 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.
SAFETY
The key-cutting machine is built entirely to standards. The operations for which it has been designed are
easily carried out at no risk to the operator.
The adoption of general safety precautions (wearing protective goggles) and observation of the instructions
provided by the manufacturer in this manual eliminate all human error, unless deliberate.
The key-cutting machine is designed with features which make it completely safe in all its parts.
• CUTTERMOTORPROTECTION
ATTENTION: the cutter motor is protected from overheating by a device (inside the motor) that
stops it whenit reaches a dangerous temperature.
This condition can occur when the machine motor is left on continuously (protection will cut in after approximately
40 minutes), with high ambient temperatures or in severe working conditions (considering an average work cycle
- duty cycle 85% - protection will cut in after approximately 1 hr 40 minutes). If the cutter motor overheats it cuts
outautomatically. In such cases proceed as follows:
a) turn off the master switch (A).
b) let the motor cool for at least 2 hours then use the machine normally.

6 MACHINE INSTALLATION AND PREPARATION
The key-cutting machine can be installed by the purchaser and does not require any special skills.
It is supplied ready for use and does not need any special set up. However, the operator may have to control a few
things before operating the machine.
6.1 Checking for damage
OMNIA is solid and compact and will not normally damage if transport, unpacking and installation have all been
carried out according to the instructions in this manual. However, it is always advisable to check that the machine
has not suffered any damage.
6.2 Environmental conditions
To ensure that the best use is made of the key-cutting machine, it is important to place it in a well-aired area which
is not too damp.
The ideal conditions for the machine are:
-
temperature between 10°C and 40°C; relative humidity: 60% approx.
6.3 Pos itioning
1) Place the machine on a horizontal surface, solid enough
to support the weight (32 Kg).
-
to work with ease, we suggest that the workbench be
approximately the height of the operator’s hip.
-
we recommend leaving a clearance of at least 10 cm
behind the machine and 30 cm on each side to ensure
good ventilation and facilitate handling (Fig. 29).
2) Ensure that the machines voltage is the same as that of
the mains power supply, which must be properly earthed
and provided with a differential switch.
3) Connect the power supply cable to the power supply
socket.
Fig. 29
6.4 Description of work station
The machine needs only one operator, who has all the controls at his/her disposal (see chap.1.1 OMNIA / OMNIA
650rpm: main working parts, chap.1.2 OMNIA MAX / OMNIA W MAX: main working parts and chap.1.2.1):
6.5 Connection to the mains
For the safety of the operator and the machine it is important to ensure that the machine is connected to the proper
mains voltage by means of an earthed differential switch.

7 MACHINE REGULATION AND UTILIZATION
To get the most out of your key-cutting machine, check gauging periodically.
ATTENTION: before regulating the machine, turn it off and remove the plug.
7.1 Micrometric tracer point
The use of a micrometric tracer point on a machine for cutting bit and pump keys not only provides perfect fast
readings, but also rapidly resolves all those small depth variations needed when worn keys are involved.
NOTE: every notch on the micrometric ring nut corresponds to a movement of 0,05 mm.
Fig.30 - Omnia / Omnia 650rpm / Omnia MAXFig.31 - Omnia W MAX
7.2 Tracer point spring
The spring function facilitates the search for spaces with the tracer point before the cutter makes the cuts.
• To enable the tracer point spring:
Turn the cam (D1) to the left (Fig.32).
• To disable the tracer point spring:
Turn the cam (D1) to the right (Fig.33).

Operating ManualOMNIA / OMNIA 650rpm / OMNIA MAX / OMNIA W MAX
7.3 Using the tilting clamp (carriage for bit/double bit and pump keys)
Fig.34
Use the lever (Q) to lock the right-hand clamp (M1) in the horizontal position for calibration and cutting operations
on pump keys and those with a centre stop.
Lower the lever (Q) to release the right-hand clamp (M1), which activates oscillation to cut bit/double bit keys
(rounding cuts off).
7.4 Locking Y axis
The Y axis locking function is useful when positioning certain bit and double bit keys (especially short ones). It is
also used to operate successfully on heavy duty cuts using the carriage for vertical cuts (chap.8.6).
To lock or release the Y axis, turn the knob (G) clockwise or anticlockwise.

7.5 Checking and calibration
The cutting tool on the machine is the part used to cut the key blanks and should be periodically checked and
replaced, if necessary.
Every time the cutting tool is changed, and during periodical operational tests, check calibration.
The OMNIA key-cutting machine requires two types of calibration: AXIS and DEPTH.
Fig.36
7.5.1 Axis calibration - carriage for bit, double bit and pump keys
Axis calibration is used to adjust the cutting space on the key.
Axis calibration is fi xed and established when the key-cutting machine is being assembled.
Axis calibration control:
1) Turn off the machine and unplug.
2) Use lever (Q) to lock the right-hand clamp in the horizontal position.
3) Close the 2 clamps with their handles (P) and (P1).
4) Disable the tracer point spring by turning the cam (D1) (chap.7.2).
5) Use the lever (L) to take the stops (Y) against the right-hand side of the tracer point and cutter.
The ideal condition is achieved when the internal part of the left-hand stop is up against the right-hand side of the
tracer point and the internal part of the right-hand stop is in contact with the right-hand side of the cutter.
If this condition is not achieved, contact Silca After-Sales Service.

7.5.2 Axis calibration - clamp carriage for vertical cuts (Omnia MAX / Omnia W MAX)
If a clamp is replaced or has imperfections the clamp inter-axis for vertical cuts can be adjusted.
1) Turn off the machine and unplug.
2) Loosen the clamp knobs, push the clamps forward and insert the calibration pin into the key shaft groove (to the
right or left of each clamp.)
3) With the machine off take the carriage up to the cutter and tracer point so that it rests against the 2 calibration
pins (sideways).
4) When the tracer point is in contact with the side of the calibration pin the cutter should skim the side of the
corresponding pin. If not:
-
loosen the 2 upper screws (J2) fi xing the fi xed clamp and the 2 rear screws (J3).
-
regulate the grub screw (K3) to achieve the optimum condition.
-
tighten the 2 screws (J2) and the 2 screws (J3).

7.5.3 Depth calibration - Carriage for bit, double bit and pump keys
Depth calibration is used to adjust the depths of cuts.
Depth calibration should be checked periodically to ensure perfect machine effi ciency, and whenever the cutter or
tracer point is replaced.
Depth calibration control:
1) Turn off the machine and unplug.
2) Use the lever (Q) to lock the right-hand clamp in the horizontal position.
3) Place the calibration pins (provided) in place on the clamps.
4) Disable the tracer point spring with cam (D1) (chap.7.2).
5) Move the carriage and take the calibration pins into contact with the tracer point and cutter.
6) Fit a hex key into the brush screw (Fig. 41). Turn the brush clockwise manually and check that the cutter skims
the calibration pin in a number of points.
7) If necessary, use the tracer point to adjust cutting depths as follows:
-
turn the ring nut (D2) clockwise to move the tracer point forward
(less deep cut) (Fig.43).
-
turn the ring nut (D2) anticlockwise to move the tracer point back
(deeper cut) (Fig.44).
8) Repeat these operations until the cutter skims the calibration pin in a
number of points.
NOTE: every notch corresponds to a movement of 0.05 mm.

8 CUTTING OPERATIONS
ATTENTION: for complete safety during the cutting operations, take the following precautions:
• Start the motor only after completing the operations on the carriage (securing the keys, etc..)..
• Always work with dry hands.
• Check that the machine is properly earthed.
• Wear protective goggles even if the machine has a protective shield.
• Keep hands away from the cutting tool in motion.
ATTENTION: the machine is protected from inadvertent motor start. When the carriage is all the
way back towards the operator a microswitch turns off the motor. If the carriage is inadvertently
moved towards the cutter the motor does not start.
ATTENTION: the Y axis lock function is useful to facilitate positioning certain bit/double bit keys
and cutting with the vertical cuts clamp. Turn the knob (G) clockwise or anticlockwise to lock or
release the Y axis (chap.7.4).
ATTENTION: in the event of prolonged use, cutting extra thick bits or
keys in hard materials (iron, steel) we recommend using individual ear
protection devices.

8.2 Cutting double female bit keys
We can also use the instructions for cutting very short bit or double bit keys to cut some bit or double bit (female)
keys, taking care to observe and check some dimensional and operational characteristics:
Dimensional:
-
Maximum height of bit against stem axis = 15 mm (max)
-
Maximum length of bit to be cut = 17 mm (max)
Operational:
• Between the end of the bit (towards the key head) and the left-hand internal side of the clamp there must be
a space of 2 mm (max) and no less than 1,5 mm (cutter thickness).
• During cutting (especially for iron keys) do not exert too much pressure when pushing the key towards the
cutter, as the key tip has nothing to butt against.
NOTE: the precision of keys cut in this way will refer to the external stem diameter rather than the
centre of the internal hole in the tip. Any imprecision between the hole axis and the stem is additional to
the normal tolerance for manual cutting.
Fig.50
It is advisable to use optional accessories for female bit and double bit keys (see OMNIA, OMNIA
650rpm, OMNIA MAX and OMNIA W MAX Specialist Guide).

10 DISPOSAL
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 equipment 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 manufacturer, that is to say the subject which was the fi rst to introduce and market new equipment
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 fi rst to introduce and market new equipment
that replaces previous equipment, if it was placed on the market after 31 December 2010;
Suitable separate collection for the purpose of forwarding discarded equipment for recycling, treatment or disposal
in an environmentally friendly way helps to avoid possible negative effects on the environment and human health
and encourages re-use and/or recycling of the materials making up the equipment.
The sanctions currently provided for by law shall apply to users who dispose of products in unauthorised ways.
