How to use

Insert the pencil into the hole that matches its diameter and rotate the pencil or the sharpener body to shave the wood and expose the lead to the desired point. Check the pencil point periodically to avoid over-sharpening. When the receptacle becomes full, open the container according to the model’s mechanism and empty the shavings into a waste bin. Replace or tighten the blade screws if they become loose to maintain consistent sharpening performance.

Usage recommendations

Use the larger hole for coloured or thicker pencils and the smaller hole for standard graphite pencils. Avoid forcing very soft or mechanical leads to prevent breakage. Keep the sharpener dry and store out of direct sunlight to preserve blade condition and plastic integrity.
