Why does my Cricut say no tool required in clamp A?
Notice it says no tool is required in clamp A. If it is saying you need a tool in clamp A you need to change to a different setting (it needs to be set to CUT). If it is saying it can not detect the tool in slot B you need to change to a different material.
How do I reboot my Cricut maker?
Power off the Cricut Imagine machine. Hold down the button below Menu, the button directly above Menu, and power all at the same time. Hold them until a rainbow screen appears, then release the buttons. Follow the on-screen prompts to calibrate the screen and complete the reset.
How do I know what Cricut blade I have?
You can easily identify this blade in retail locations by the red or white protective cap. The blade housing that ships with the Explore machines was designed to house the Premium Fine-Point blades. The Cricut Explore Deep Point blade has a steeper blade angle (60 degrees vs. 45) and harder, more durable steel.
Do I need to calibrate my Cricut after changing blade?
When Do I Need to Calibrate my Cricut Knife Blade? You really only need to calibrate your Knife Blade once, when you first use it. You’re actually calibrating the Knife Blade housing, not the blade itself. When you replace the blade, the housing remains calibrated.
How long should a Cricut blade last?
When asked, “How long do Cricut blades last?”, we think for a guideline you could start with, that at a minimum, you should change your blade every two months with average use of your Cricut machine. If you’re cutting with it quite often, you might need to move that up to every six weeks.
Why is my Cricut blade not going down?
1) Make sure the blade is inserted correctly into the assembly. (The small “knife” end should be sticking out, not the cone point end.) 2) Make sure the blade depth is set at something deep enough to cut through cardstock, usually at least 4 or 5. 3) Make sure the pressure is set to high or maximum.
What blades come with the Cricut maker?

Why won’t my Cricut cut the vinyl?
Ensure that you are using a Cricut brand blade. Then inspect the blade and blade housing and remove any debris that may be stuck to the blade or lodged in the blade housing. Make sure to replace the blade housing back into your machine correctly. Once clean, perform a test cut.
