Q6: When the sharpener stops, sometimes my pencil is “stuck” in the
sharpener. I was able to pull it out, but it has a line, or ridge on the
pencil. Why is it doing this? How can I avoid this?
A
: Sometimes when the sharpener stops and you still have some pressure on
the pencil, the blade will stick in the pencil. You can simply pull the pencil
out, but there will be a ridge as shown in the picture below.
You can continue to use the pencil with the ridge if you would like; it does not
affect anything. But if you would like to avoid the ridge and the sticking in the
future, give the pencil a quick twist as soon as the sharpener stops. See a
previous FAQ “
How do I use the pencil sharpener?
” for a better
explanation.
Q7: How many pencils can I sharpen before I need to replace the blade?
A
: The blade should last for at least 300 sharpenings before you need to
replace it. A spare blade cartridge is included with the sharpener so you
should be able to sharpen at least 600 pencils. If you would like to purchase
additional blade cartridges, please contact us or visit the Toolsand website.
Q8: How do I replace a dull blade?
A
: First, unlock the shavings cover by twisting the cap counter-clockwise.
Now pull upward to remove the cover. Grip the blade cartridge and pull
firmly. The blade cartridge will snap out of the cover. If it does not come out,
pull a little harder as it takes a little more effort than you might expect. To
install the new blade cartridge simply snap it in the cover.
