How to Adjust the Rollers on Silhouette Cameo or Portrait
Discover how to easily adjust the rollers on a Silhouette Cameo or Portrait for various sized media.
In this super quick and easy tutorial, learn how to adjust the rollers on a Silhouette Cameo or Portrait. If you are not using a mat and the media is less than 12 x 12 inches, the rollers need to be adjusted. Other times you may need to adjust to stop the mat or material from sliding around. We will guide you through the simple steps to do this.
Step 1 - Turn the Machine Lever
Open your Cameo or Portrait and locate the machine lever inside on the far right. Now turn this clockwise. Don’t use any tools as this may cause damage. The lever should be easy enough to turn.
Once the lever has been turned clockwise, the roller bar will lift up.
Step 2 - Adjust the Plastic Roller
Carefully twist the white plastic roller to remove it from the notches on the roller bar.
Slide the plastic roller to one of the other notches on the bar. Choose one that you need for your media size then click it in place. Finally, move the handle back to the original position.
Now you are ready to start cutting. Remember to be gentle with your machine while adjusting the lever and rollers. The Silhouette Cameo and Portrait make it so straightforward to adjust for various sized materials!
