Operating Instructions

The PILOT G2 pens are designed for smooth and comfortable writing across various applications.

• Writing: Extend the pen tip and apply light to moderate pressure to write. The gel ink flows smoothly, providing a consistent line.
• Comfort Grip: Utilize the contoured rubber grip for extended writing sessions to reduce hand fatigue.
• Ink Drying: The gel ink is formulated to be smear-proof. Allow a few seconds for the ink to dry on the paper, especially on glossy surfaces, to prevent smudging.

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and consistent performance of your PILOT G2 pens.

Refilling the Ink

PILOT G2 pens are refillable, extending their lifespan and reducing waste. Use only genuine PILOT G2 refills for best results.

1. Disassemble: Unscrew the barrel of the pen, usually by twisting the grip section counter-clockwise.
2. Remove Old Refill: Carefully pull out the empty ink refill. Note the orientation of the spring, if present, as it will need to be placed on the new refill.
3. Insert New Refill: Place the spring onto the tip of the new PILOT G2 refill (if applicable). Insert the new refill into the pen barrel.
4. Reassemble: Screw the barrel back together clockwise until secure.

Cleaning

• Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the pen with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dust or ink smudges. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Tip: If the tip appears clogged or has dried ink, gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Do not attempt to force objects into the tip.
