Adjusting Blade Depth; Speed Dial; Pressure Dial - Cricut Create Benutzerhandbuch

Adjusting Blade Depth

Remove the cutting blade assembly from the Cricut Create machine to change the
setting on the adjustment knob. However, if the arrow is facing forward you can leave
the cutting blade assembly attached and simply spin the top of the adjustment knob
to change the setting.
WARNING! Always unplug your Cricut Create machine before removing the
cutting blade assembly.
To remove the cutting blade assembly (Figure 1), locate the screw and turn it coun-
terclockwise until it loosens enough that you can swing the screw to the right (Figure
2). Be careful not to loosen the screw too much, or it will fall out. Remove the cutting
blade assembly from the machine. Next, locate the adjustment knob (Figure 3) on the
top of the cutting blade assembly, and turn it to your desired setting.
Figure 1
The smaller the number on the adjustment knob, the shorter the
blade depth. Shorter blade depths are recommended for light-
weight materials, longer blade lengths for heavier materials.
Reinstall the cutting blade assembly into the Cricut Create
machine by reversing the procedure to remove the cutting blade
assembly. Test the setting on a scrap piece of paper and make
adjustments as necessary.
TIP: Cutting on cardstock and other heavy materials will reduce the life of your blade,
but it will produce the best cuts.
TIP: If the Cricut Create produces poor cutting results, always insert a new blade first
before trying other options.

Speed Dial

The Speed Dial allows you to control the cutting speed for an optimal cut on a variety
of papers. If you regularly cut on heavyweight materials, you may want to turn the
dial up to increase the cutting speed. For lightweight materials or for smaller, more
detailed cuts, you may want to turn the dial down to decrease the cutting speed.
After each adjustment, we recommend that you test the setting with a scrap piece of
paper, readjusting as necessary until you achieve the desired results.
The screen next to the Speed Dial will indicate the speed level, ranging from 1 (min)
to 5 (max). As a general rule, decrease the cutting speed if your cuts are being torn. If
this doesn't work, change the blade or adjust the blade depth (see above).

Pressure Dial

The Pressure Dial allows you to control how hard the cutting mechanism presses
against the paper. For heavyweight materials, you may want to move the dial up
to increase the cut pressure. For lightweight materials, you may want to turn the dial
down to decrease the pressure. After each adjustment, we recommend that you test
the setting with a scrap piece of paper, readjusting as necessary until you achieve the
desired results.
