GENERAL INTRODUCTION

The TWISTER II key-cutting machine has been designed according to CE speciﬁ cations. From the design stage risks for the operator have been eliminated in all areas: transport, key- cutting, regulation and maintenance.

Other risks have been eliminated by the use of protective devices for the operator. The protective devices used are designed not to provoke further risks and, above all, they cannot be ignored

unless deliberately cut out. They do not hinder visibility of the work area. A special adhesive label is attached to the machine warning the operator to use goggles during the cutting

operations, and this is strongly recommended in this manual. The material used in the manufacture of this machine and the components employed during use of the machine

are not dangerous and their use complies with standards.

Use

The TWISTER II must be installed and used as speciﬁ ed by the manufacturer. The TWISTER II key-cutting machine must be used only by skilled personnel (professional use).

The key-cutting machine is designed for use on business or industrial premises (e.g. hardware shops, key cutting centers, etc...). If the key-cutting machine is used differently or for purposes different from those described in this manual, the customer will forego any rights he may have over the Company . Furthermore, unforeseen danger to the operator or any third parties may arise from incorrect use of the machine. Negligence in the use of the machine or failure on the part of the operator to observe the instructions given in this manual are not covered by the guarantee and the manufacturer declines all responsibility in such cases.

IT IS OBLIGATORY to read the manual carefully before using the machine.

Further Risks

There are no further risks arising from the use of the machine.

Protection and safety precautions for the operator

The TWISTER II key-cutting machine is built entirely to CE 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 TWISTER II keycutting machine is designed with features which make it completely safe in all of its parts and operation.

• Power supply

The key-cutting machine is powered by electricity supplied through a separate grounded plug.

• Start-up

The machine is turned on by means of the master switch located on the left-hand side. The switch has a safety function that prevents untimely start-up when voltage returns after a power outage.

• Operation

The machine is started up by means of a motor switch.

• Illumination

The work area is illuminated by a lamp which operates when the machine is switched on with the master switch.

• Maintenance

The operations to regulate, service, repair and clean the machine have been devised in the simplest and safest way possible. There is no danger of removable parts being re-placed wrongly or unsafely.

1 TRANSPORT

The TWISTER II key-cutting machine is easily transported and is not dangerous to handle. The packed machine can be carried by two persons.

1.1 PACKING

The packing used for the TWISTER II guarantees that the machine will travel safely without danger of damage to it or its components.

The packing comprises two shells, lower and upper in expanded plastic in the machine is wrapped.

A strong outer cardboard box, the measurements of which can be seen in Fig. 3 and the plastic wrapping protect the machine even over a long period of storage.

1.2 TRANSPORT

Symbols are printed on the outside of the cardboard box to give instructions and warnings for transportation. Use of the packing box whenever the machine is transported will avoid knocks or bumps which could cause

damage.

1.3 UNPACKING

To remove the machine from the packing box:

1) Cut the straps with scissors and remove.

2) Open the box without damaging it so that it may be used again (e.g. shipping to the manufacturer for repairs or servicing).

3) Check the contents of the box, which should comprise: 1 TWISTER II key-cutting machine packed in a protective shell. 1 set of documents, including: operating manual, spare parts list and guarantee. 1 accessory container. 1 separate grounded plug wire.

4) Remove the key-cutting machine from the protective shell.

1.4 HANDLING THE MACHINE
