2 MACHINE DESCRIPTION
REKORD PRO d-12 is a professional cutting machine for duplicating at keys used with cylinder, car locks, cruciform
keys and ASSA®d-12, DP e CLIQ type keys.
Fig. 5
The main parts of the machine are described below:
• Main switch
The key-cutting machine is connected to a power supply socket provided with a di󰀨erential switch (chap.4.4.2 and
chap.4.5). When the machine is switched on using the switch (O) on the right-hand side, the lamp (I) turns on to
indicate the presence of voltage.
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 by means of the
plug.
• Motor start up
With the machine switched on, unlock the carriage using the lever (B) to start the motor.
• Cutter/brush motor start button
The cutter/brush start push-button (N) is located on the left-hand side of the REKORD PRO d-12 key-cutting
machine.
• Motor and transmission unit
The motor has belt transmission. The transmission unit is placed on the right of the motor and activates the brush
(P) and cutting tool (L). These components are protected by the protective cover (M).
• Clamp carriage
The horizontal carriage (R) controlled by lever (D) has a handle (A) for front movement and holds 2 clamps (E).
• Cutting unit
The cutting unit contains the actual working parts of the REKORD PRO d-12 key-cutting machine, which operate
together to cut and nish keys “read” from the originals. The working parts are described below:
Cutting Tool
The cutting tool (L) is the part of the REKORD PRO d-12 used for cutting key blanks. The cutting tool is in HSS
super rapid steel.
Tracer point
The tracer point (J), dedicated to reading the cuts on keys to be copied is housed on the left-hand side of the
machine. Depth is easily regulated by means of the relevant centesimal ring nut (K).
Clamps
The clamps (E) are rotating and four-sided to allow perfect closure of the key placed on its back or prole in the case
of keys with symmetrical cuts (chap.6.1).
Operating manual REKORD PRO d-12
Copyright Silca S.p.A 2022 5

Clamp knobs
The clamps are locked by two anatomical knobs (F), which ensure perfect grip on the keys with only slight locking
pressure.
Gauges
Next to the clamps there is a rod with two gauge tabs (H) to control key alignment.
Brush
The brush (P) is used to eliminate burrs from the cuts and is made of non-abrasive material. To activate the brush,
turn the push-button (N) on the left-hand side of the machine.
2.1 Further Risks
ATTENTION: there are residual hazards in the cutting
zone (A) where the cutter is located. Carefully observe
the warnings in the manual..
ATTENTION: DANGEROUS MOBILE PARTS. Keep all
body parts away from moving parts
ATTENTION: the cutter is in motion when the button
(N) is pressed to activate the brush and remove burrs
after key cutting.

4 MACHINE INSTALLATION AND PREPARATION
The REKORD PRO d-12 key-cutting machine can be installed by the purchaser and does not require any special
skills. However, some checks and preparation for use need to be carried out by the operator.
4.1 Checking for damage
The REKORD PRO d-12 key-cutting machine 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 su󰀨ered any damage.
4.2 Environmental conditions
To ensure that the best use is made of the REKORD PRO d-12 key-cutting machine, certain parameters must be
borne in mind: damp, badly ventilated sites should be avoided.
The ideal conditions for the machine are:
- temperature: between 10°C and 40°C;
- relative humidity: 60% circa;
- room illumination: approximately 500 Lux.
4.3 Positioning
1) Place the key-cutting machine on a horizontal surface, solid enough to take the weight (19 Kg).
- to work with ease, we suggest that the workbench be approximately the height of the operator’s hip.
- it is important to leave clearance of at least 30 cm behind the machine and on each side to ensure proper
ventilation (Fig. 10).
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 di󰀨erential switch.
3) Connect the power supply cable to the power supply socket (chap.4.4.2 and chap.4.5).

5 MACHINE REGULATION AND UTILIZATION
5.1 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.
5.2 Calibration
The REKORD PRO d-12 key-cutting machine requires two types of calibration: axis and depth.
Axis calibration:
Axis calibration is regulation of the space between cutting and the stop (Fig. 14 and Fig. 15).
The axis setting for the REKORD PRO d-12 is xed and is established on assembly in our workshops.
Fig. 14
Fig. 15
Operating manual REKORD PRO d-12
Copyright Silca S.p.A 2022 13

Depth calibration:
Depth calibration is regulation of the cutting depth (Fig. 14). Proceed as follows:
1) Ensure that the key-cutting machine is o󰀨 by unplugging the power cable.
2) Place the adjustment keys (provided) on the clamps (Fig. 16).
3) Check that the adjustment plates adhere properly to the clamps.
4) Turn the calibration rod towards the operator so that the gauges (H) into contact with the adjusting plates (Fig.
16).
5) Lower the gauge rod.
Fig. 16
6) Unlock the carriage with the lever (B) and move it towards the cutting tool.
7) Take the keys into contact with cutting tool and tracer point (Fig. 17).
8) Turn the cutting tool anticlockwise manually and check that it skims the adjusting keys in several places.
9) If necessary, regulate the depth of the cut with the micrometric tracer point, as follows:
a) loosen the screw (J1) holding the tracer point.
b) turn the ring nut (K) clockwise to advance the tracer point (shallower cuts) (Fig. 18).
c) turn the ring nut (K) anticlockwise to return (deeper cuts) (Fig. 19).
NOTE: each notch on the centesimal ring corresponds to 0,025 mm (Fig. 17).
10) Repeat these operations until regulation is complete, then tighten the tracer point locking grub screw (J1).

6 CUTTING OPERATIONS
ATTENTION: for complete safety during the cutting operations, take the following precautions:
• Always work with dry hands.
• Check that the machine is properly earthed.
• Wear protective goggles even if the machine has a protective shield over the cutting tool.
• Start the motor (unlocking the carriage) only after completing the operations on the carriage (key
insertion/removal..).
• Take care not to push the cutter/brush motor start button (N) (Fig. 6) during operations on
the carriage (key insertion/removal...).
• Keep hands away from the cutting tool in motion.
• Before duplicating, remove the gauges.
