GENERAL INTRODUCTIONS
The REKORD key-cutting machine has been designed according to the specifications of the Machine
Directives. 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 th e 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 REKORD must be installed and used in the way laid down by the manufacturer.
If th e key-cuttin g ma chine is used differently or for purposes differ ent from those describe d in this
manual, the customer will forego any rights he may have over SILCA S.p.A. 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 therefore indispensable to read the operating manual carefully in order to make the best use
of the REKORD and benefit from its potential.
Instructions manual
The instructions manual provided with the machine is essential to its proper use and to carry out the
necessary maintenance.
We therefore recommend protecting the manual from damage in a safe sheltered place, easily to hand
for quick consultation.
Further Risks
There are no further risks arising from the use of the machine.
Protection and safety precautions for the operator
The REKORD 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 a doption o f g eneral safety precautions (wearing pro tective gog gles) an d observatio n of the
instructions provided by the manufacturer in this manual eliminate all human error, unless deliberate.
The REKORD key-cutting mach ine is designed with features which make it completely safe in all its
parts.
•Power supply
The key-cutting machine is powered by electricity supplied through a separable earthed plug.
•Start-up
The machine is started up:
- Activating the safety main switch on the right-hand side of the machine.
- Activating the motor on switch the left-hand side.
• Maintenance
The operations to regulate, service, repair and clean the mach
ine have been devised in the simplest and
safest way possible. There is no danger of removable parts being re-placed wrongly or unsafely.
• Machine Identification
The REKOR D key-cutting machine is provi ded w ith an iden tification la bel w hich show s the seria l
number (fig. 2).

1 TRANSPORT
The REKOR D key-cutting machin e is easily transpor ted an d is not da ngerous to ha ndle. Th e packed
machine can be carried by one person.
1.1 Packing
The REKORD is packed in a strong cardboard box, the dimensions of which are shown in fig. 3, sufficiently
robust to be used for storing the machine for long periods.
Inside the box the machine is enclosed in two expanded polymer shells. The shells and cardboard box
ensure safe transportation and protect the machine and all its parts.
Fig. 3
1.2 Transport
To avoid damaging th e R EKORD it must alw ays be tr ansported in its packin g case. This will prevent
sudden movements or rough handling from damaging the machine, persons or things.
1.3 Unpacking
To remove the machine from the packing box:
1) cut the straps with scissors and remove.
2) prise off the staples.
3) open the box without damaging it as it may be used again (e.g. removals, dispatch to the manufacturers
for repairs or servicing).
4) check the contents of the box, which should comprise:
- 1 REKORD key-cutting machine packed in a protective shell.
- 1 set of documents, including: operating manual, spare parts list and guarantee.
- 1 connecting wire.
- 1 carriage lever handle;
- 1 tool kit.
5) remove the key-cutting machine from the protective shell.
1.4 Handling the machine
When the REKORD has been unpacked, place it directly on its workbench.
This operation can be carried out by one person, firmly holding the base, and no other part, to lift and carry
the machine.

3 MACHINE DESCRIPTION
REKORD is a professional cutting machine for flat keys used with cylinder, car locks and cruciform keys.
The main parts of the machine are described below:
Main switch
The ke y-cutting machine is co nnected to a pow er supply so cket provided wit h a differentia l switch.
Pressing the switch (O) pow ers the machine a nd il luminates th e wa rning li ght (H1) to indicate that
current is on.
ATTENTION: Switch (O) is electromagnetic, in the event of a power failure it goes out
automatically. When electricity is restored it must be reset manually to power the machine again.
Motor on switch
The motor on switch (N) is placed on the left-hand side of the REKORD key-cutting machine.
ATTENTION: the illuminated switch remains on to indicate that the key-cutting machine has been started
(cutter in motion).
Motor and transmission unit
The motor has belt transmission. The transmission unit is placed on the left of the motor and activates
the brush (P) and cutting tool (L). These components are protected by two covers:
-protective belt cover (W),
-top cover (M).
Clamp carriage
The clamp carriage (R) consisting of two clamps, is fitted to the horizontal movement carriage, controlled
by lever (D) and is provided with a handle (A) under which can be found the carriage release button (B).
The carriage movement by means of gears, allows high precision movements which greatly facilitate all
cutting operations.
The carriage is fully protected by a special pan el designed to prevent the accumula tion of dust an d
chippings from the work process.
The machine is designed with a ramp along which chippings can fall into the special chippings tray (C),
placed under the carriage and easily removable for emptying and cleaning.
Cutting unit
The cutting unit contains the actual working parts of the REKORD key-cutting machine, which operate
together to cut and finish keys "read" from the originals.
The working parts are described below:
•Brush
The brush (P) is used to eliminate burrs from the cuts and is made of non-abrasive material.
•Cutting Tool
The cutting tool (L) is the part of the REKOR D used for cutting key blanks. The cutting tool is in H SS
super rapid steel and is protected by a special cover (M) to ensure safe operation.
•Tracer point
The tracer point (I), used for reading the profile of the key to be copied, is housed on the left-hand side
of the machine base. A centesimal ring (K) ensures regulation of the depth.
•Clamps
The clamps (E) have four sid es which rotate to allow the key to be perfectly secured on its back or in
profile (fig. 13-B).
•Clamp knobs
The clamps a re locked by two anatomical knobs (F) which ensure perfect grip on the keys with only
slight locking pressure.
•Calibration tabs
The clamps have two gauge tabs (H) with which to adjust key alignment.
