Silhouette Cameo® 4 User Manual
Load the Tool
Choosing a tool or blade is an important step in preparing your Silhouette to cut. Since your machine comes with an
AutoBlade, you can insert that. Different styles of blades are adjusted by different methods. Instructions for adjusting
alternate blade types will be included on the blade packaging.
If you’re using the AutoBlade, the blade will automatically adjust when you send your design to cut. To adjust the
AutoBlade or any other blade manually, use the adjustment socket in the machine or the handheld tool that your
machine comes with. Gently press the blade up and down into the adjustment socket until the red indicator line points
to the desired setting.
Note: The AutoBlade, Ratchet Blade, Premium Blade, Fabric Blade, and Sketch Pens work only in the left tool holder or Tool
Holder 1.
The above blade settings are applicable only with the AutoBlade, the Ratchet Blade, or the Premium Blade. In all cases,
higher blade settings expose more of the blade and are for cutting thicker materials. Refer to Silhouette Studio® for
recommended blade settings for different materials.
When you’re not using your tool, you can store it in the tool holder on the left side of your machine. Simply slide the
cover to the left and place your tool inside. When you’re finished, slide the cover to the right to close it.
