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:

Blade Assembly
cradle
thumbscrew
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.
