Place your cricut
®
machine at least 6” from the edge
of your table to prevent it from tipping and causing
possible injury.
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.
