    Are you using a blade made for the Olfa cutter?

    Make sure you're using the right blades for the right cutters.

    Here is a link to a youtube that shows you how to change the blade to ensure you are doing it correctly.

    Are these new blades? If they are old the holes may be worn.

    It's happened to me before. The problem was that I didn't have the screws in the right place. Look at that You Tube video. The problem is likely something of that nature.

    Go to Olfa's website and see how it's should be done.
