lines, polygons, and freehand line art. Each of these tools can be found in the toolbar on the left-hand

drag with the mouse to draw a rectangle, or click once to set one corner and click a second
time to set the opposite corner.

If you don’t see an image of the cutting mat under your document on the screen, click the

Getting Started with Silhouette CAMEO®
Preparing the Silhouette to Cut
Turn the Silhouette CAMEO® on by pressing the power button and waiting for the machine to start up.
To feed the cutting mat into the Silhouette, lift the lid, align the left edge of the mat with the blue
alignment mark on the left side of the machine, press the mat against the white rollers, and press the
‘Load cut mat’ button on the LOAD screen.

Loading a material that has its own backing and does not require a cutting mat (such as vinyl),
requires a similar process as above but you should select ‘Load media’ instead.
If using a lined material without a cutting mat, you can use the crosscutter on the back of the
machine to trim your project after it’s done cutting. Simply place the crosscut blade into the track and
slide it across your material in the direction indicated on the crosscut blade. The crosscut blade can
be found in the storage compartment on the left side of the machine.
Adjusting the Rollers for Smaller Media
By adjusting the white rollers on the main roller shaft, the Silhouette CAMEO® can cut the following
media sizes: A4, letter, 12”, 13”.
Locate the release lever on the right side and turn it clockwise.
Twist the sliding roller so the pinchers are NOT in the notches.
Slide the roller to the desired media size and twist again to lock
the pinchers into place.
Return the release lever to the upright position to lock it in place.
