Operating Instructions

1. Extending the Lead

• To extend the lead, simply click the top button of the pencil repeatedly until the desired lead length is exposed.

2. Retracting the Lead

• To retract the lead, press and hold the top button, then gently push the lead back into the pencil tip with your finger.

3. Erasing

• Use the white eraser located at the top of the pencil to correct mistakes.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• Wipe the exterior of the pencil with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or smudges.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the pencil's finish.

Storage

• Store your mechanical pencils in a pencil case or drawer to protect them from damage and prevent lead breakage.
• Keep away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Lead Not Advancing

• Check Lead Supply: Ensure there is sufficient lead inside the pencil. Refill if necessary.
• Clear Jam: If lead is present but not advancing, gently remove the tip assembly and check for any jammed lead fragments. Use a thin wire or the end of another lead to carefully dislodge any obstructions.

Lead Breaking Frequently

• Reduce Pressure: Apply less pressure when writing. Mechanical pencil lead is designed to be strong but can break under excessive force.
• Check Lead Length: Avoid extending too much lead at once. A shorter exposed lead length is less prone to breaking.
• Lead Quality: Ensure you are using high-quality 0.7mm HB lead refills.
