Blade Life

You can expect anywhere from 500 to 1500 single cuts from your cutting blade
before it requires replacement. Your actual cutting blade life will vary, depend-
ing on the settings you use and the materials you cut. When the quality of your
cuts decreases, it is probably time to replace your cutting blade. For best results,
use only genuine Cricut Replacement Cutting Blades, available at participating
®
Cricut retailers (part #290002).

replacing the Cutting Blade

WArnInG! Always unplug your Cricut Imagine before replacing the
™
cutting blade.
To change the cutting blade, you must first remove the cutting blade assembly. To
remove the cutting blade assembly (Figure 1), locate the screw and turn it counter-
clockwise 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. After removing the cutting
blade assembly, locate the blade release at the top of the cutting blade assembly
and push it in (Figure 3). The blade will emerge from the cutting blade assembly.
You will need to gently pull the blade away from the magnet holding it in place
(Figure 4).
To install the new blade, first remove the protective cover from the new blade.
Carefully insert the shaft of the blade into the hole in the bottom of the cut-
ting blade assembly. The blade should be sucked up inside the shaft if properly
installed (Figure 5). The replacement cutting blade is now installed. Place the
protective cover over the old blade and dispose of it. Reinstall the cutting blade
assembly into the Cricut Imagine reversing the procedure to remove the cutting
™
blade assembly.
