Note
If the pencil is quite short, it may become trapped behind
the safety shutter. If this occurs, slide the reverse switch
upward. The safety shutter will open and the pencil stub
will be reversed out of the machine (Fig.3). Please do not
attempt to sharpen pencils less than 50mm long as they
will become trapped.
Sharpening coloured pencils can cause a waxy deposit
to build up on the blade. We recommend alternating
between coloured and graphite pencils as graphite,
a natural lubricant, will help to keep the blade clean.
Replacement Blades
As with all sharpeners, frequent use will eventually blunt the sharpener blade.
Please be aware that Pastel pencils are very abrasive and will cause the blade to wear
more rapidly than other types of pencil.
The automatic pencil feed mechanism is subject to wear. For a service kit comprising a
replacement blade assembly and a pencil feed mechanism, please contact your supplier

button on the back of the sharpener (Fig.4), then invert the machine and press the
safety switch to open the safety shutter (Fig.5).
