Adjusting the Air Valve
Both hot and cold cutters are equipped with an air valve to power the air cylinder. Air valve
adjustment can prevent the knife from slamming up or down. This is especially important for
TRC 1000 hot knife models, as the knife slamming against the cutting plate (HC4-5) will can
cause wear to the alignment groove as well as premature rounding of the blade edge.
• Disconnect cutter from control panel. Allow hot parts of the machine to cool to prevent
contact with hot surfaces.
• Using the top roller tensioner handle, tilt the machine 90 degrees (figure 17), up onto the
outfeed side of the machine to gain access to air valve. The air valve is located just
right of stepper motor. It may be helpful to loosen the top two button head bolts that
hold the base plate in, so the plate can hinge open.

• Using a long thin flat blade screwdriver turn each screw (figure 18) clockwise (in) until
lightly seated, and then counter clockwise (out) approx. 1 1/2 - 2 turns. This is the factory
setting for TRC 1000 machines.
