How Do I Change the Blade on My Silhouette Cameo?

Changing the blade on your Silhouette Cameo is a fairly simple task that can be done in a few minutes. The first step is to turn off the machine and unplug it from the power source.

Once that is done, remove the blade holder from the machine. The blade holder will be located on the left side of the machine, near the front. It should come out easily with a couple of twists.

Once you have removed the blade holder, you can remove the blade itself. Grasp it firmly and pull it out of its slot.

Be sure to dispose of the old blade properly so that no one will get hurt. Now you are ready to insert your new blade.

Before inserting your new blade, make sure that it is positioned correctly in its slot. The flat side of the blade should be facing up and towards you. Once you have inserted it correctly, turn it slightly so that it locks into place.

Once your new blade is secure, replace the blade holder in its original position and plug your machine back into its power source. You may need to adjust your settings depending on what type of material you are cutting or what type of design you are creating.

Conclusion:
Changing out your Silhouette Cameo’s blades can be done quickly and easily with minimal effort required. All that needs to be done is to unplug and remove the old blade holder, take out and dispose of the old blades properly, insert your new blades ensuring they are positioned correctly, replace the holder back onto its original position, then plug it back into its power source before adjusting settings as needed for whatever material or design you are working with.
