Service Life of Mechanical pencil
It is considered that the following phenomena indicated that the service life of the chuck portion or inner barrel
expires.
• Number of knocking during plotting increases,
and the lead is broken at the tip of Mechanical
pencil.
• The Mechanical pencil is returned to the
magazine, and the message [PENCIL ABNOR-
MAL] is displayed.
• Number of knocking during plotting increases,
and the lead charging/discharging operation
is frequently repeated.
• Waste leads of 15mm long are exhausted into
the waste lead case.
• The Mechanical pencil is returned to the
magazine, and the message [NO LEAD] is
displayed, then the operation stops.
Since the service life is not suddenly expired, check the chuck and inner barrel, and purchase
new pens for the replacement if necessary.
Check of service life of the Chuck
1 Extend the lead as much as one
knocking, then lightly push the pen
point on a table perpendicularly.
2 If the lead is moved into the Me-
chanical pencil, it shows that the
service life expires.
