Positioning Your Cricut
6"
When positioning your Cricut™ machine, choose a location that is:
• Inaccessible to children. The Cricut™ machine is not a toy and contains
components, including a sharp blade, that could be hazardous to children.
• Stable, flat, and hard-surfaced, within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of a grounded electrical
outlet, and that has a minimum clearance of 1 foot (30.5 cm) around the Cricut™
machine for paper movement.
• Indoors or in a dry location where the Cricut™ cartridges are not directly exposed to
the effects of the weather.
• Away from direct exposure to sunlight or extreme temperatures such as in parked
cars, storage sheds, sunrooms, etc.
WARNING! Your Cricut™ machine should never be left or stored outside, in un-heated or
un-air conditioned locations, or in environments where the machine or cartridges can
come in contact with water.
What Your Cricut
The Cricut™ Personal Electronic Cutter™ can cut a wide range of paper from vellum to
cardstock up to 0.5 mm thick. Provo Craft has created cardstock pads and designer
paper pads that coordinate with the Cricut™ shape cartridges. These 6" x 12" papers fit
perfectly in the Cricut™ machine.
TIP: The repeated cutting of heavy cardstock and similar weights of paper may reduce
the life of your Cricut™ machine's cutting blade and mat.
Personal Electronic Cutter
™
Place your Cricut™ machine at least 6" from the edge
of your table to prevent it from tipping and causing
possible injury.
