How Do I Put the Blade in My Cricut Maker?

If you’re new to the Cricut Maker, you may be wondering how to put the blade in the machine. Fortunately, it’s a relatively simple procedure that only takes a few minutes.

To get started, make sure that your Cricut Maker is powered off and unplugged from any power sources. Then, locate the blade holder on the side of your machine and remove the cover from it. It will be held in place by two screws, which you’ll need to remove before you can access the blade holder.

Once you have removed the screws and taken off the cover, there will be a small plastic piece inside that holds the blade in place. Carefully remove this plastic piece and set it aside for now.

Then, take your Cricut Maker blade and insert it into its holder with the silver tip facing upwards and toward you. The blade must be fully inserted into its holder so that there is no gap between them.

After securely inserting your Cricut Maker’s blade into its holder, take the plastic piece that you removed earlier and slide it back into its original position to secure your blade within its holder. Once this is done properly, replace the cover on your Cricut Maker’s blade holder and screw it back into place.

Conclusion:

Putting a new blade in your Cricut Maker is easy once you know how to do it correctly. Simply make sure that your machine is powered off and unplugged before removing any covers or screws from its side.

Then take out the plastic piece that holds your new blade in place inside of its holder before carefully inserting it with its silver tip facing upwards and toward you. Finally, slide back in the plastic piece to secure your blade within its holder before replacing any covers or screws.
