Basically: If you are using the mat, line it up with the very left line. For other materials, line up with the second line on the left and then move the right slider to a position that overlaps the material.

What to do if it isn't cutting
This guy likes to be at a deeper blade setting than the program says it should be. Do a test cut going up a couple of blade depths and see if that works. If not, try some of these other things: https://www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2019/11/silhouette-cameo-4-autoblade-wont-cut-5.html
Blades
Right now, we primarily have type B Blades. For most purposes, please stick with the following.
- Light Blue: Fabric. Will not adjust automatically, so you will need to set it to the right number based on what the program tells you.
- Black with threading: Rachet. Will not adjust automatically, so you will need to set it to the right number based on what the program tells you.
- White with the numbers that look like a ruler: auto blade. If your settings are right in the program it should adjust it properly for you.
