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

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.
