Installing the Cutting Blade Assembly

Please note that the Cricut Expression™ 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:

1. Open the doors on the Cricut Expression

machine and remove the cardboard inserts

from either side of the carriage.

2. 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 ts into the black cradle

to the left of the carriage. Locate the silver

screw and turn it counter-clockwise until it

loosens enough that you can swing the screw 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 with the black arrow facing you. Close

the cradle, swing the screw 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.

Positioning Your Cricut Expression™ Machine

Place your Cricut Expression™ machine at least 12”(30.48 cm) from the edge of your

table to prevent it from tipping and causing possible injury.

Depending on the cutting mat used,

allow 12”(30.48 cm) or 24”(60.96 cm) in the

back of the Cricut Expression machine for

mat movement.

When positioning your Cricut Expression machine, choose a location that is

• inaccessible to children. The Cricut Expression machine is not a toy and contains

components, including a sharp blade, that could be hazardous to children.

• stable, at, and hard-surfaced, within 6 feet (1.83 meters) of a grounded electrical

outlet, and that has a minimum clearance of 2 feet (60.96 cm) behind the Cricut

Expression 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 Expression™ machine should never be left or stored outside, in

unheated or un-air conditioned locations, or in environments where the machine or

cartridges can come in contact with water.

What Your Cricut Expression™ Machine Can Cut

The Cricut Expression™ cutting system can cut a wide range of materials, from vellum

and cardstock to poster board and vinyl. The Cricut Expression machine can even cut

thin chipboard with the use of the Multi Cut function. Learn more about the exciting

possibilities with this function on page 18.

TIP: The repeated cutting of heavy materials may reduce the life of your Cricut

Expression™ machine’s cutting blade and mat.

Basic Operations

Setup

Plug your Cricut Expression™ machine into a grounded electrical outlet.
