Changing the Blade on the Vinyl Cartridge

The Vinyl Cartridge uses a special blade to cut the Vinyl which has been temporarily adhered to the matboard to create the design.

The Vinyl is labeled in the software with a thin Vinyl Blade Icon.

Open up the package of blades and carefully pull off the rubber cover from the tip of the blade. 

Holding the cartridge in one hand, push on the plunge rod on the back of the cartridge to expose the blade channel. 

Carefully remove the blade from the cartridge by grasping it and pulling it straight out.

Insert the fresh blade into the channel with the point and edge of the blade sticking out of the channel.
