* Loosen the blade holder by screwing the silver tightener anti-clockwise

* If you are inserting a blade, make sure that it is inserted as far as it can go.
If you want to cut through '''flock''' make sure you have the correct flock blade put into the plotter. Not sure? Ask one of the tutors in the station!
When you change the blade make sure to check if the offset parameters of the blade are the correct one.
