2. GETTING STARTED

Please take time now to ready and understand this manual thoroughly before you start cutting keys.

machine. Please feel to contact us if y ou have any questions or go to Rytan.com.

SAFETY FIRST

Do not attempt to operate this machine until you have read thoroughly and understand completely all

instructions, rules, etc. contained in this manual. Failure to comply can result in accidents involving

fire, electric shock, or serious personal injury.

3. SAFETY RULES

A. Know your machine. Read the owner's manual carefully. Learn its applications and

limitations as well as specific operational hazards peculiar to this machine.

B. Guard against electrical shock by preventing body contact with grounded surfaces.

Examples: Pipes and metal work tops.

C. Keep guards in place at all times.

D. Keep your work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

E. Avoid dangerous environments. Don't use this machine in damp or wet locations. Keep

your work area well lit.

F. Keep Children away. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area. Do

not let visitors contact the machine or power cord.

G. Do not force the machine. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was

designed. Always maintain a sharp cutter wheel on the machine.

H. Use the machine for what it was designed. Don't use the machine for anything but the

key blanks for which it was intended.

I. Wear proper apparel. For example: No loose clothing or jewelry to get caught in moving

parts. Operators without properly restrained long hair MUST NOT operate any type of

machinery, including key machines. Long hair can get caught in moving (rotating)

machinery parts.

J. Use Safety glasses. Flying chips, improperly secured key blanks and broken cutter wheel

teeth can injure the eye if not properly protected.

K. Don't abuse cord. Never yank cord to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat,

oil and sharp edges. Never remove the ground connection from the plug. If you use a

two wire adapter be sure to properly connect the ground wire. NEVER CUT OFF THE

GROUND TERMINAL FROM THE MACHINE'S POWER PLUG!

L. Secure keys properly in vises. Don't hold key head for support when cutting. If it

doesn't clamp properly, don't try to cut it!

M. Maintain a sharp cutter wheel. A dull cutter wheel is not only inefficient but dangerous.

A dull cutter wheel can produce excessive cutting force on a key blank and exceed the

machine's vise jaws clamping force to a point where the key blank could be ripped out of

the machine.

N. Disconnect machine. When not in use, during servicing, or when changing cutter wheel

and accessory brush always disconnect the machine from its electrical power source.

O. Remove servicing wrenches. Remove all service tools from the machine before turning it

on.

P. Always turn off machine. After cutting a key, turn off the machine before removing a cut

key and clamping another fresh blank.

Always lock carriage back. After cutting a key, turn off the machine and lock the

carriage back to prevent accident or injury.

R. Outdoor use. When machine is used outdoors, use only extension cords suitable for

outdoors and that have a built-in third wire and ground terminal. NEVER CUT OFF THE

GROUND TERMINAL FROM THE MACHINE'S POWER PLUG!

S. Keep hands away from cutter and key blank. Keep hands away from rotating cutter. Do

not reach underneath or around cutter or key blank when cutter is rotating.

T. Never use machine in an explosive atmosphere. For example, if your machine is in a

service van with a fuel leak or spill, switching on the machine could ignite the fumes.

NOTE: A FLAMMABLE SOLVENT SPILL IN YOUR SHOP OR VAN IS

EQUALLY DANGEROUS!

U. Inspect machine cord periodically. If damaged, repair at once.

V. Keep hands, dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

W. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate machine

when you are tired.

X. Do not use machine if switch does not turn the machine ON or OFF.

Y. Drugs, Alcohol, Medication. Do not operate machine while under the influence of drugs,

alcohol, or medication.

Z. The operation of any key machine can result in foreign objects being thrown into the

eyes, which can result insevere eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields

before commencing key machine operation. We recommend wide vision safety mask for

use over spectacles or standard safety glasses.

4. MOUNTING THE MACHINE

Mounting the machine. Drill two oversized ½” holes in your bench top to mount your

machine. Use ½”-13 bolts from your local hardware store. Carefully turn the machine up-

side-down and measure the spacing of the two tapped holes on the bottom of your machine

(be careful not to set the machine on the power switch). Turn the machine right-side-up

and place the machine where you want it on your work bench. Mark the bench and drill

your holes.

5. CUTTING STANDARD KEYS

A) Most key clamping requirements use the standard top jaw configuration. The top

jaw can be shimmed with .040" drill rod (included)—to make deeper cuts in small

keys. Narrow groove style top and bottom vise jaws are possible by reversing the

entire carriage.

B) Keys are always gauged with the full-function flip-up key gauges. We do not

recommend bottom shoulder gauging because key blank manufacturers do not

always maintain a reliable correlation between bottom and top shoulder positions on

the key blanks they make.

C) Always remember to flip away your key gauges before cutting a key.

D) Always cut keys from Bow to Tip. NEVER MAKE YOUR FIRST CUT

FROM TIP-TO-BOW.

The RY45 is specifically designed to cut most cylinder keys and U.S. and Foreign

automotive keys. The key will be cut properly starting at the Bow and ending at the

Tip of the key. It is O.K. to make a "clean-up" cut back to the bow of the key ONLY

after the key has already been cut.

NOTE: If an excessive amount of key blank material is removed on the clean-up cut (second cut) your cutter

may need replacing or sharpening.

6. CUTTING DEEP CUTS IN SMALL KEYS

A) Most key clamping requirements use the standard top jaw configuration. If you

are making deep cuts in small keys you may have to use .040" drill rod shims in

the vises. You must use them in both left and right vise jaws.

Make sure you only open the vise jaws just enough to slide the key in—

opening too wide may allow the key to sit on top of the shim. See illustration

figure 1.

CUTTING KEYS

1) Keys are always top shoulder gauged with the full-function key gauges.

Never attempt to bottom shoulder gauge a key against the vise jaws.

2) Always remember to flip back your key gauges before cutting a key.

Switch ON yourmachine and gently raise the carriage andposition it so the

stylus is right over the key. Continue to ease up on the carriage and

manipulate the carriage to make a smooth gentle cut down the left edge of

the "V" cut in the key and then gently continue across the rest of the key to

the tip cutting all cuts on the key.

3) You may want to reverse the carriage and make a "clean-up" cut back to the

bowofthekey.

4) Turn OFF your machine.

CUTTING STEEL KEYS IS NOT RECOMMENDED

Cutting steel keys will accelerate cutter wear. Some steel keys will ruin your cutter wheel with

just one pass.

NOTE: Some automotive presentation keys are made of Hardened Steel and can ruin the cutter

wheel instantly! Don't befooled by the decorative Gold, Brass or Silver-plating on these keys.

Suggestion: Keep a small magnet near your key machine to identify steel keys. Before cutting a steel key

try filing a small groove where one of the deeper cuts will be—if the key won't file easily it won't cut any

better in your key machine and will mostly likely ruin your cutter!

7. VISE JAWS

Choosing the correct vise jaws. For most key cutting work the vise jaws can remain inthe standard

configuration. In the standard configuration the entire "throat" of the bottomand top jaws is used.

Measuring from the front faces of the top and bottomvise jaws and into the throat of the jaws—you will

measure . 142". This throat dimension of .142"is how much of the key is consumed by the vise jaws when

the key is clamped. Most keys are rarely cut deeper than .142" from the back edge of the keyblade.

Some padlock keys and some General Motors keys have cuts deeper than .142" from the back edge of

the key blade. For these keys you have to shim the vise jaws to clamp the keys properly.

Use the pair of round-drill rod shims that came with your machine. Place a shim in each vise jaw

against the back edge and lay the key in front of.the shim—effectively pushing the key out of the vise

jaws and clamping on the remaining .102" of the key. See figure 2 below.

By opening the vise jaws enough to slide the key in you will be making the key lay right in front of the

drill rod shim in the vise jaw—effectively pushing the key out of the vise jaws and clamping on the

remaining .102" of the key.

FIGURE 2

TOP VISE JAW REPLACEMENT

Either top vise jaw may be replaced at any time—you do not have to buy top vise jaws in pairs.

Inspect your top vise jaws for uneven clamping and referencing surfaces. Replace when worn.

Accelerated wear occurs when you clamp double-sided steel keys such as Volks Wagon. Clamping

pre 1984-1/2 Ford double-sided keys too far to the right into the vise jaws causes wear to the left edges

of both the top and bottom vise jaws. The damage is due to the "wedged" shaped milling of these keys

as you approach the bow of the key.

Unscrew the painted key clamp knob and remove the knob and its threaded shaft and the three piece radial

thrust bearing. Reinstall a new vise jaw assembly. NOTE: The top vise jaw and plunger are preassembled

at the factory and are sold as an assembly. See figure 3

Figure 3

BOTTOM VISE JAW REPLACEMENT

Two bottom vise jaws are bolted to the carriage. One jaw is designed for standard configuration key

clamping with .142" throat (key clamping) and the other is a narrow style for clamping keys in their

groovings (1/16" grip).

Bottom vise jaws can be replaced one at a time—there is no need to replace them as matched sets. Use

your 9/64" Alien Hex Wrench to remove the #8-32 Socket Head Cap Screw securing the bottom vise

jaw to the carriage. See figure 4.

REVERSING THE CARRIAGE

The carriage is reversed on your RY45 key machine to switch from standard vise jaw configuration to

narrow groove key clamping configuration. To reverse the carriage unscrew the red knurled knob and

screw assembly located near the bottom front of the carriage. Inspect the carriage shaft and carriage

and wipe off any key cuttings that might affect clamping the carriage back onto the carriage shaft.

Reinstall the Red Knurled Knob and screw assembly back onto the carriage and carriage shaft. See

figure 5.

8. TOP SHOULDER GAUGING

Figure 6

Standard cylinder keys should always be Top Shoulder Gauged. Use the machine's full-function flip-down

key gauges. We do not recommend bottom shoulder gauging because key blank manufacturers do not

always maintain a reliable correlation between bottom and top shoulder positions on the key blanksthey

make.

Always remember to flip UP your key gauges before cutting a key. See figure 6.

9. CLAMPING KEYS

Open the vise jaws only wide enough to slide the key in. With the key in all the way into the "throat" of

the vise jaws—put your index finger against the key blade as shown in figure 7 below and with moderate

force against the key into the vise jaw gently slide the key left and right a few times (about 1/8" will do) to

"seat" the key into the vise jaws. With the bottom shoulder of the standard cylinder key about 1/32" away

from the left edge of the vise jaws CLAMP the key with the key clamp now-still pressing against the

blade of the key with your finger as you tighten the key clamp knob.

We recommend that you clamp the blank in the right vise jaw first, see figure 7—then flip up the full-

function key gauges and clamp the customer (original) key in the left vise jaw (see figure 8) using your

finger—following the same procedure outlined directly above.

When both keys have been properly gauged and clamped in the vise jaws REMEMBER to flip UP the

full-function key gauges before attempting to cut the key.

CLAMPING (Ford double-sided keys)

Keys such as Ford double-sided ignition and door do not have a top shoulder to gauge from.

Open the vise jaws ONLY enough to slide in the thinnest part of the key. Slide in the key blank and allow

the full thickness "ridge" of the key to contact the face of the vise jaw.

Clamp the key into the vise jaws so that its cuts are approximately centered in the vise jaws.

Ignition key "ridge" will contact the face of the TOP vise jaw. See figure 10. Door and truck

key "ridge" will contact the face of the BOTTOM vise jaw. See figure 9. See figure 9 for proper

insertion of keys into vise jaws.

Operate the full-function key gauges by rotating the key gauge shaft toward you—then push to the

right on the key gauge shaft while continuing to rotate the key gauge until the key gauge aligns itself

with the tip of the key. See figure 11.

Figure 11

BEST and FALCON (behind the tip) KEY GAUGING

These keys must be gauged from a "tip" location that is behind the actual tip of the key (see figure

12). Position the key in the vise so that the "tip" edge of the key is about 1/32" (or less) from the right

edge of the vise jaws. Operate the full-function key gauges by rotating the key gauge shaft toward

you—then push to the right on the key gauge shaft while continuing to rotate the key gauge shaft until

the key gauge slides past the actual tip of the key. Slowly release the key gauge shaft and allow the

key gauge to rest on the "tip" location that is behind the actual tip of the key (see figure 12)
