This is so essential and Sillouette's official tutorials never cover this. Thank you!!

[@geminidream4347]

Thank you so much for this great tutorial on the misery I am having with my new machine. I have saved it so that I can go to it anytime I have another issue and I forget.

[@andrews3267]

New to cutting.. I got a machine given to me, second hand, without any instructions included.. I had no clue what I was doing with it. Thanks, this actually did help!

[@tvaa9758]

Imformative and straight forward. Thanks!

[@user-ze7si4dn3z]

[@Shpod]

Direct and informative! Thanks!

[@amiewee]

Thank you for saving the day!

[@lorenanorris3364]

Love the help you provided. Can you do one on problems with roll printing? Mine keeps jamming. Someone said to press the roll through using the up arrows, but it only moves up a small amount one time.

THANKS A LOT YOUR TUTORIAL IS GREAT ...

[@89proudmummy]

Thank you I hope it helped

[@dcosmeticsskincaremanufact5437]

Same problems:
Just lock it.
If your blade's not auto blade and is manual you have to check if it's in zero because you canot be able to cut if your blade's in zero.
The force.
Change your blade.

You save me. Thank you

[@lancomedic]

How did you get your machine to make those sounds while turning on and off?

[@tenderlymade]

Thank you for posting this video! It seems to have done the trick for me so far. So frustrating that Silhouette doesn't cover a lot of these issues. Is there a cancel cut option if it jams? I only see I can pause a job but not where I can cancel it altogether when it starts jamming up or catching some of the cuts on itself. TYIA.

[@wildfloweralley]

I’m glad it helped! So there isn’t a cancel job on the machine, but if you pause it and wait 5 seconds, in silhouette studio on your pc it will have very small written down the bottom ‘cancel job’ which you can then select and restart if required :)

I use the thicker smaller mat. Cut thousands. I might get one or two Miscuts. My biggest issue is there will be some off cuts on the bottom right of sheets on any design. That's a known issue

[@sharondeden481]

I just got my machine n I can’t get it o cut. I noticed that it is not tapping correctly I think. The setting is on 0 and it just moves to the one position. What do I need to do.

[@stevenlantigua9544]

I tried everything in this video. I even bought a new autoblade to see if that was the issue and nothing. Im starting to to think its something with the machine

[@TextileQueen]

My big issue is when I try to cut circles, they come out wobbly... any suggestions?

[@assadnujjoo]

I've notice that some lines didn't cut deep enough while cutting a vinyl design! While weeding this is a problem,sometimes I have to use a blade to hand cut those missing lines. Do you know what could be the problem?

[@ionutiustin]

i have the same problem..

[@assadnujjoo]

@@ionutiustin still didn't know what could be the reason...

[@user-yh3bp1sl2l]

Change the blade.I think it will solve

[@aleeacarlin7084]

Assad, change the depth of the blade before you send it cut. It's a little black dial with white numbers. Let me know what else I can help with.

[@assadnujjoo]

@@aleeacarlin7084 Thank you. I'm getting problem with my machine not doing deep cut without cutting mat. Those little perforated to hold the cuts not appearing thus the cuts are falling off while cutting!

[@elladorr]

My machine is brand new it punched did not cut.

[@catieholder3927]

My cameo 4 will not load my mat when I press the arrow to load it just flashes please please help

[@JandSChainsaw]

👍👍😁

[@darlenelopez1531]

I don't know the simplest thing which is how to cancel out a cut or job 🤔 so I panic and usually just let it finish and lose out on my vinyl. #newbie

[@jerrygrimes8813]

I hit the Pause symbol on the front panel, then eject the material.

[@Alba_103Side]

@@jerrygrimes8813 I hit the Pause symbol too then remove the auto blade and let it finish its cycle.

[@sarahbeee5240]

Just got this one, have had the 1 since it came out. Only upgraded because everytime I try to connect its hell. Now this one won't even cut!

[@sailormoon1557]

I seriously hate this machine, don’t even waste you money on this bs. It’s ridiculous the amount of troubleshooting you have to do for 400$ screw that !!!

[@archermick]

Completely agree. I've had to go back to my Cameo 3. Waste of money.

[@HarryMcKenzieTV]

it also quickly rusts. i think it's made in china.

[@wildfloweralley]

That’s strange, I’ve had mine many years and I’ve never had any rust issues as there isn’t a lot of metal components. I would check your warranty

[@HarryMcKenzieTV]

@@wildfloweralley well it's very humid in the philippines :)
