Description
To cut a key you must lower the gauge to its rest position before turning on the cutter motor. This will engage the safety switch. Turning on the cutter motor is accomplished with the regular switch at the rear of the machine. When the Shoulder Gauge Safety Switch is NOT in its rest position turning on the machine’s cutter motor will result in the safety switch relay disengaging the cutter motor’s power. This will also happen if the gauge is moved from its rest position while the cutter motor is already on.
To reset the machine you must lower the shoulder gauge to its rest position, then turn the machine off. You may now turn the machine back on and cut a key. The resetting prevents the Shoulder Gauge Safety Switch from being used as a power switch to turn the machine on and off.
