Does the Cricut Blade Go in a Certain Way?

Cricut blades are an essential part of the Cricut machines, and understanding how the blade works and how to properly install it can mean the difference between a successful project and one that falls short. Although there are a variety of Cricut blades available, all blades must be installed in the same way.

The first step to installing a Cricut blade is to locate the blade housing. This is where the blade will be placed, and it is typically located on the right side of the machine near the top.

Once the blade housing has been identified, open it by pressing down on the small tab located at its base. The blade should then be removed from its packaging and inserted carefully into the blade housing.

It is important to ensure that it is inserted correctly, as incorrect installation can result in damage or inaccurate cuts.

To help ensure correct installation, take note of which side of the blade has writing on it. This side should always face up when inserting it into the machine. Additionally, make sure that when inserting, one hand holds down the locking mechanism while pushing down on either side of the blade with your other hand until you hear a “click” indicating that it is locked in place.

After successfully installing your Cricut blade, you may want to test if it’s working properly before starting any projects. To do this, simply turn on your machine and select a medium-sized image or design from your library.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, yes – there is an specific way in which you must install a Cricut Blade into your machine for best results. Be sure to pay attention to which side has writing on it when inserting so that you don’t damage any parts or cause inaccurate cuts.
