REPLACING THE PEN TIP
The pen tip (nib) will wear with normal use. Excessive pressure will cause it to wear sooner. Replace the
nib when it gets too short (less than 1 mm (0.04 inch)) or develops a flat point.
1. Unscrew the pen stand base to access the nib extraction tool and replacement nibs.
2. Clasp the old nib with the nib extraction tool, pair of tweezers, needle-nosed pliers, or similar
instrument and pull it straight out of the pen.
3. Slide the end of the new nib straight into the barrel of the pen. Firmly push the nib until it stops.
Note: Stroke nibs are spring-loaded, providing additional tactile feedback when you are working with the
Intuos4 pen or Airbrush. They are installed in the same manner as a standard pen nib.
Warning: Choking hazard. Prevent children from swallowing the pen nib or side switch. The pen nib
or side switch may accidentally be pulled out if children are biting on them.
To order replacement parts, see
available parts and accessories
.
Important: When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen stand or lay it flat on your desk. When the
optional Airbrush is not in use, lay it flat on your desk. Leaving the pen on the tablet can prevent the tablet
from switching off and cause the battery to discharge.
To maintain the sensitivity of your input tools, do not store them in a container where they will rest on their
tip or eraser.
If you find it inconvenient to use the desktop pen stand, you can also attach the
pen holder
to the tablet
and place the pen in the holder loop for safe-keeping.
