Cricut Expression Blades are a great tool for crafting and scrapbooking. They are designed to cut through paper, cardstock, vinyl, and other materials with ease. However, over time the blades can become dull, making them ineffective. Knowing how to change the blade on your Cricut Expression machine is essential for maintaining its performance.
The first step in changing your Cricut Expression Blade is to turn off the power switch on the machine. This will ensure that the machine is completely powered down before you begin working on it. Once this is done, you will need to open up the machine’s housing by removing any screws that are keeping it closed. Be sure not to lose any of these screws as they will be needed when reassembling the machine.
Once you have removed all of the screws and opened up the housing, you can now access the blade holder and blade cartridge. The blade holder is located in front of where you just unscrewed from and it holds both blades in place.
To take out an old blade and replace it with a new one, simply press the release button located near the bottom of the holder and slide out the old blade. Then slide in a new one into place.
Before replacing any blades on your Cricut Expression machine, make sure that you read all instructions thoroughly as well as purchase blades that are compatible with your specific model of machine. Also be sure to use caution when handling any sharp objects such as blades.
Conclusion:
Changing a Cricut Expression Blade is not difficult but it does require some caution and knowledge of where parts are located within your machine’s housing. Be sure to follow all instructions carefully when replacing blades and purchase those that are compatible with your model of Cricut Expression Machine for optimal performance results.
