How to Use the Cricut Explore Air 2Now it’s time to master some of the exclusive features that are found on the Cricut Explore Air 2. Smart Set DialThe Smart Set Dial, found on the right hand side of the machine, is a feature guaranteed to make your life easier.Essentially, it’s a material selection dial that is pre-programmed with the correct settings for whatever material you’re using that day.If, for instance, you’re cutting a card, you’ll turn the dial to select ‘Cardstock’. The machine will then automatically select the correct blade settings — including depth, speed and force — so you don’t have to.Cricut have smartly included the most-used materials on the dial:. Paper. Vinyl.
Iron-On. Light Cardstock (for paper 60-65 lbs). Cardstock (for paper 80-85 lbs). Fabric.
Poster BoardYou’ll also spot half settings between the materials on the dial. This is for when you need either a little less or a little more pressure than what the programmed settings are providing.If, for instance, you’re cutting some light cardstock but the blade isn’t fully cutting your design, you can select the half setting between Light and Cardstock. Or if you’re cutting some poster board and the blade is exerting too much pressure by cutting up your mat, simply select the setting between Fabric and Poster Board.If you’re using another material — and let’s face it, you’re able to use well over a hundred different materials with this machine so why wouldn’t you?
