1.2 SAFETY

• Protective shield

The transparent protective shield is desig ned to cover the working parts as completely as possible, ensuring operator safety. The shield (U) (fig. 5, page 6) must be raised in order to fit keys for cutting or carry out other operations. Raising of the shield is controlled by a microswitch and disactivates the operating and movement functions, including the cutter. A special message appears on the display to warn that the shield is not closed. To re-start the work cycle, place the shield in its original position and press START on the machine’s keyboard.

• Emergency stops

The red emergency button (N) (fig. 5, page 6) placed on the right-hand side of the machine is used to stop it immediately in the event of faulty operation or danger for the operator. When the cause of the emergency has been eliminated, turn the button 45° clockwise to disactivate it.

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

possible.

• Cutter motor protection

The cutter motor is protected against overheating by a cut-out switch (located inside the motor) that will automatically stop the motor if it reaches a certain temperature. Should the switch activate

1) turn the machine off and disconnect the power supply cable.

Attention: the pin should be placed vertically

ATTENTION: the knob is gauged so that it do not exert too much pressure for closing (if pressure is too high it only idles), which would damage the key and the parts of the clamp (including the knob).

To turn the clamps:

With loosened handle (E) a light rotation of the clamp is sufficient (gripping by the 2 jaws) to turn it to the required side. Alignment is automatic and guaranteed by the mobile pressure device (D5) (fig. 14).

Fig. 14

Note: before starting to cut a key the V100 clamp gauge goes automatically to the idle position so there is no need to lower it.

Feasible and selectable options for the selected card

f) Edit the Cutting Method

• Type of Cut

The machine can run several types of cut: NORMALE, PIANO, LASER, VERTICALE. If provided for on the data card, the user can edit the type set by default.

ORMAL

For conventional car and door keys.

LAT

Mainly used for car keys where the cut edges are rounded to facilitate the

movement of the blades when the key is put into the lock.

ASER

Conjunction of the cutting angles is determined automatically by the machine, allowing cuts to be made with variable angles; this facilitates the smooth entry of the key into the lock, prolonging the working life of the key.

ERTICAL

Necessary for special keys with small bits (Silca art. FO19P, FO21P...) where a special cutter is required. When this cutting method is used a special angled cutter is needed.

• Press F1 to view the type of cut set by Silca for the data card and the possible alternatives (if applicable).

Edit the set type of cut with one of the alternatives given.

The type of cut is active throughout the time the machine is in use.

When the machine is turned off the function returns automatically to the original setting for the type of cut.

ATTENTION: for certain cutting methods the standard cutter U01W must be replaced with a specific cutter.

5.4 SPECIAL CASES

5.4.1 CUTS NOT ALLOWED

When the machine is used manually with certain data cards, it may not be possible to carry out certain entered combinations. This happens when the cutting depths are not compatible in the order the user entered the possible cuts.

Example:

1) Enter data card number

2) Press ENTER

3) Enter the cut

4) Press ENTER

The Silca software calculates the validity of the data entered. If they are not congruous the following message will appear:

NON-FEASIBLE COMBINATION

This message is explained below.

The reason for the conflict between certain cuts is explained simply in the case shown. With regard to the cut that originated the message <NON-FEASIBLE COMBINATION> it can be seen that between the two deep cuts (8) and the consta nt angle (100°) the intermediate cut (0) would be removed. This happens when the cutting angle N (Normal) is not made variable by means of the type of cut L (Laser).

The new drawing of the key shows how for the same cutting process (80846) the cutting angles are automatically calculated by the conjunction of the cutting base with a straight line. This aspect, admissible with certain car keys, is more commonly known as ‘the ideal cutting line’.

ATTENTION: in this example it can be seen that the ß angle is less than 45°. This could cause serious problems with a lock, making it difficult or impossible to place the key into the cylinder or remove it.

Fig. 28

Control of the combinations in the Options menu can in any case be disabled (Cutting check cap.5.9).

The display shows: Head stop processing

Min. cut distance:

The number shown on the machine’s display represents the X axis distance between the key blank shoulder and the beginning of the first cut (fig.

42).

This function is extremely important with keys that require cuts on both sides as it ensures precise positioning on the key 2nd side.

The set figure is 50 hundredths of a mm, which can be varied between min.0 - max. 90 hundredths of a mm.

ATTENTION: settings that are too high may render precise cuts impossible, with the following message on the display:

MIN. Parameter of

DISTANCE FROM STOP

is incompatible with

selected card!

Fig. 42

Rectify Key Stop:

The machine does not normally allow for key stop rectification. However, it is possible, when necessary, to rectify the stop by removing a part of it, and arrange cutting according to the new key stop created.

If the operation is enabled, 4 items are required:

Rectification thickness X:

thickness of the part to be removed, quantified in hundredths of a mm (min. 0 - max.90)

Key stop height Y:

height of the stop read by a gauge on the key, quantified in hundredths of a mm. E.g.: Y = 3 mm = 300 hundredths of a mm (min.100 - max.999).

Depth H:

depth of the part to be removed, quantified in hundredths of a mm, relating to the key blank measurements (min.0 - max.600).

Length L:

distance in hundredths of a mm of the axis from the cutter, relating to X (min.0 - max.4000).

For correct disposal please refer to current standards.

INFORMATION FOR USERS OF PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT

From "Actuation of Directive 2012/19/EU regarding Waste Electricaland 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 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;

With reference to portable batteries/accumulators, when such products are no longer in use the user shall take them to suitable authorised waste treatment facilities.

Suitable separate collection for the purpose of forwarding discarded equipment and batteries/ accumulators for recycling, treatment or disposal in an en vironmentally 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.

To remove batteries/accumulators, consult the manufacturer’s specific instructions: (see relevant chapter in the users’ manual)

The sanctions currently provided for by law shall apply to users who dispose of equipment, batteries and accumulators in unauthorised ways.
