How to use

Hold the mechanical pencil near the tip for maximum control when creating fine lines. Apply gentle, consistent pressure to avoid lead breakage and advance the lead incrementally as needed.

Replace the lead with compatible 0.2 mm graphite leads following the manufacturer’s instructions and store the pencil capped or retracted to protect the tip.

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality 0.2 mm leads suited to your desired hardness to balance line darkness and break resistance; softer leads give darker lines but may break more easily, while harder leads offer greater durability for detailed drafting.
