How to use

Hold the Maped CORE0108 sharpener firmly in one hand and insert the pencil into the sharpening hole. Rotate the pencil slowly while keeping light, steady pressure to achieve an even tip.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use with standard wood-cased pencils and avoid forcing oversized or mechanical pencils into the sharpening hole. Store the sharpener in a dry place and keep away from heat sources to preserve the PVC body. When shavings collect, open the tube packaging and dispose of contents; replace units from bulk stock as required to maintain cleanliness and blade effectiveness.
