Key specifications

• Brand: Faber-Castell
• Application: Pencil sharpening
• Blade type: Durable metal blade
• Compatibility: Wood-clad graphite and colour pencils

How to use

Insert the pencil into the designated opening of the sharpener and apply gentle, even pressure while rotating the pencil clockwise or counter-clockwise. Continue turning until the desired point is achieved. Avoid applying excessive force, as this can damage the lead or the blade. Clear away any accumulated shavings from the blade area periodically to maintain smooth operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Check the diameter of the pencils you intend to sharpen to ensure compatibility with the sharpener opening.
• Consider the replacement intervals, as sharpener blades naturally become blunt over time with regular use.

Usage recommendations: For optimum sharpening performance, we recommend replacing the sharpener now and then because the sharpener blade will become blunt over time, which can otherwise result in increased tip breakages.
