How Do You Put a Cricut Blade in Housing?

One of the most important components of a Cricut machine is the blade. It is responsible for cutting through intricate designs and precise shapes. The blade needs to be placed in its housing correctly for a successful cut.

The first step in how to put a Cricut blade in housing is to remove the cap from the top of the housing.

This can be done by using a small flathead screwdriver and gently prying off the cap. Once the cap has been removed, you will see a slot where the blade fits into.

Next, you will need to install your Cricut blade into its housing. Gently insert the blade into the slot, making sure it is facing downwards with the cutting edge pointing towards you. You can then turn the blade so that it is facing upwards and gently push it into place until it clicks into position.

Once your Cricut blade has been installed correctly, you will need to replace the cap on top of the housing. Make sure that it is firmly in place before proceeding with your project.

Conclusion:
Putting a Cricut blade in its housing correctly is an important step for successful cuts with your machine. By removing the cap from its housing, inserting your blade downwards and then turning it so that it faces upwards before pushing it firmly into place, you can ensure that your cut will be precise and accurate every time.
