Adjusting the blade on your Silhouette Cameo is an important part of prolonging the life of your machine and ensuring you get the best results. Although it may seem like a daunting task, it is actually quite easy and with a few simple steps, you can have your new blade set up in no time.
Step 1: Start by opening up your Silhouette Cameo and locating the blade holder. This is located on the right side of the machine, near the top.
Step 2: Carefully remove the blade from its holder by pressing down on the top corner and pulling it out. Make sure you do this very carefully to avoid any injury.
Step 3: Once you have removed the blade, unscrew the knob at the back of the holder in order to adjust how far out the blade is protruding from it. You want to make sure that your new blade is lined up with your cutting mat in order to get an even cut.
Step 4: After adjusting the knob, carefully insert your new blade into its holder and make sure it’s firmly secured in place. You may need to use pliers or some other tool to make sure that it’s securely fastened in place so that it won’t move around while cutting.
Step 5: Finally, run a test cut through some scrap paper to make sure everything is working properly before attempting any large projects with your Silhouette Cameo. This will help ensure that everything is working properly and that there are no issues with your newly adjusted blade.
Conclusion:
Adjusting your Silhouette Cameo’s blade may seem daunting at first, but with these simple steps you can easily do it yourself without any problems! Just remember to take care when removing and inserting blades and test everything before beginning a project!
