HU162 9 CUT WITH 3 SIDE CUTS GUIDE Working out the correct side cuts from a 9 cut HU162 from the decode given by the HU162 9 cut ignition 2in1 pick and decoder. In this section of the guide, I want to discuss how to work out the correct side cuts when all you have is the 9 conventional cuts obtained by picking and decoding the ignition with the 9 cut ignition 2in1 tool. It is not quite as simple as just picking and decoding the lock. What you will need to enter value-wise into your cut to code machine will be determined by your machine choice. The cutting cards for the side cuts differ on Silca cutting cards and on Instacode, so depending which machine you use will determine which cutting values you use. Also, how your machine cuts the key will also have a bearing on how you enter what you have read. I will show how to enter what you have read on the Ninja Laser machine, so it’s relevant for those using Keyline

cut to code machines. I decode the ignition lock with the Lishi 9 cut ignition tool and got the following decode from bow to tip, positions 1 to 9. My decode was 343344441. If I entered this into my Ninja Laser, it would cut the wrong key, and you won’t work out the side cuts from this reading easily, so I simplify this below. I will start with how to work out the side cuts and then show how to cut this on Ninja Laser. My Lishi pick read a decode of 343344441. Pictured below is how the tool has read the key in photo form. Black values are the top track of the key and red values are the bottom track of the key.
As we know from the previous site reading guides, the 9 cut lock follows a pattern of 1 up, 1 down, 1 up, 1 down, 2 up, 1 down, 1 up, 1 down. The above photo shows how
