How Do I Put the Blade in My Cricut?

Putting the blade in your Cricut is a simple task that anyone can do. The first step is to locate the blade holder, which is typically located on the left side of the Cricut machine.

Once you have located this, remove the cap from the blade holder and insert the blade into the holder. You’ll want to make sure that the sharp part of the blade is facing down and away from you.

Next, you’ll need to use a small Phillips head screwdriver to tighten or loosen the set screw on top of the blade holder. It’s important to make sure that you don’t overtighten this screw, as it could potentially damage your machine and/or your blades. Once you’ve adjusted it so that it’s snug but not too tight, you can replace the cap on top of the blade holder.

Finally, place your materials onto your Cricut cutting mat and press down firmly so that it sticks in place. Then, select your desired settings for your material type and cut size on your Cricut machine’s touchscreen display. Once you have chosen these settings and pressed ‘Go’, your Cricut will automatically move its cutting pen back and forth along its cutting track while simultaneously moving its adjustable blades up and down in order to precisely cut out shapes, letters, designs and more.

Conclusion:

Putting a blade in your Cricut is a simple process that only requires a few steps. All you need to do is locate the blade holder, insert your desired blade into it, adjust its set screw with a Phillips head screwdriver so that it’s snug but not too tight, replace its cap and then select your desired settings on your Cricut machine’s touchscreen display before pressing ‘Go’. By following these steps carefully, anyone can easily insert a blade into their Cricut machine with ease!
