How Do You Load a Silhouette Machine?

Loading a Silhouette Machine is an easy process that anyone can do. There are two different types of Silhouette Machines, the Cameo and the Portrait. Both machines use a similar loading process but there are some slight differences between them.

Cameo – To load a Cameo machine, you first need to make sure that the machine is turned off and unplugged. Then remove the mat from the cutting area and place it aside. Now you can insert your material into the machine, making sure it is flat and smooth against the rollers. Next, adjust the roller tension so the material is snug against them.

Then you can replace your mat onto the cutting area and press it down firmly. Finally, plug in your Silhouette Machine and turn it on.

Portrait – To load a Portrait machine, start by turning it off and unplugging it from power source. Then remove any existing material from inside of the machine. Now you can insert your material into the cutting area, making sure it is flat and smooth against the rollers. Next, adjust the roller tension so that your material is snug against them.

Loading a Silhouette Machine is an easy process that anyone can do by following these simple steps for either type of machine – Cameo or Portrait. It’s important to make sure that your material is securely fastened to both machines’ rollers before turning them on.
