How to use

Insert the pencil into the single hole and rotate the pencil gently while holding the sharpener steady, or hold the pencil and rotate the sharpener against the pencil to achieve the desired point.

Empty any shavings from the sharpener’s compartment or surrounding area after use to maintain a clean workspace and to preserve the sharpener’s performance.
