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, depending 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 Expression 2 machine 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
counterclockwise 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 cutting 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 Expression 2
machine by reversing the procedure to remove the cutting blade assembly.
