Chapter 4, Fine Tuning the Cutter 45
ADJUSTING THE KNIFE DEPTH
Two types of high quality knife holders are available for FasTrack cutters,
a standard knife holder, and an optional knife holder with a vernier to
adjust the depth.
Regardless of which type of knife holder you use, adjusting the knife depth
is very important to ensure high quality outputs. Always make sure that the
knife blade protrudes from the holder enough to cut through the material
and adhesive, but not the backing.

To adjust the knife depth of the standard tool holder
1. Hold the body in one hand and adjust the depth by using the set screw.
Turning the set screw clockwise will make the blade protrude out of the
edge of the base. Turning the set screw counterclockwise will retract
the blade.

2. For a first test, turn out the blade until it protrudes only a very small
amount (about 0.008" (0.2mm) out of the base.)
