GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The LANCER PLUS key-cutting machine has been designed according to the specifications of the
Machine Directives.
Right from the design stage risks for the operator have been eliminated in all areas: transport, key-

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 the 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.

danger to the operator or any third parties may arise from incorrect use of the machine.
Negligence in the use of the machine of 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 essential to read the operating manual carefully in order to make the best use of
