Placing The Cutting Blade Assembly - Cricut Expression Provo Craft User Manual

Placing the Cutting Blade Assembly

Please note that the Cricut™ machine's cutting blade assembly is located in the bottom
of your box, separate from the machine. Before you turn the machine on, you will need
to insert the blade assembly. To do this, follow these simple instructions:
6
1) Press the On button on the Cricut™ machine. This will
open the doors but will not turn the machine on because
the cord is not plugged in.
2) Remove the cardboard inserts on either side of the car.
Remove the green cutting blade assembly from its bag.
Make sure the black arrow on the blade assembly points to
the number 4 on the adjustment knob, and ensure that the
cutting blade has been inserted into the assembly with the
sharp end pointing down.
3) The blade assembly fits into the black cradle to the left of
the car. Locate the silver thumbscrew and turn it counter-
clockwise until it loosens enough that you can swing the
thumbscrew to the right. Be careful not to loosen the screw
too much, or it will fall out.
4) Open the left arm of the black cradle and position the
cutting blade assembly inside, as shown. Close the cradle,
swing the thumbscrew back to the left, and tighten it by
turning it clockwise. Plug the machine in and press the On
button to place the blade assembly in cutting position.
