3. Setup
The STABILO pointMax pens are ready for immediate use. Simply remove the cap to begin writing or drawing. Ensure the cap is securely replaced after use to prevent the ink from drying out, especially if not used for extended periods, although the pen is designed for a long cap-off time.
4. Operating Instructions
To use your STABILO pointMax pen:
- Uncap the Pen: Gently pull the cap off the pen. The cap features a click-off mechanism for secure closure.
- Write or Draw: Hold the pen comfortably and apply light to moderate pressure to create lines. The 0.8mm medium tip is versatile for various tasks.
- Replace the Cap: After use, firmly push the cap back onto the pen until you hear a click. This protects the tip and prolongs ink life.

5. Maintenance
- Cap After Use: Always replace the cap firmly after each use to prevent the ink from drying out.
- Storage: Store pens horizontally to ensure even ink distribution and prevent drying. Avoid extreme temperatures.
- Cleaning: If the pen tip accumulates dust or debris, gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the pen in water.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your STABILO pointMax pen, consider the following:
- No Ink Flow: Ensure the cap was replaced properly. If the pen has been uncapped for an extended period, the tip may have dried. Try gently scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to restart the flow.
- Faint Lines: This may indicate low ink levels. Replace the pen if the ink is depleted.
- Tip Damage: Avoid excessive pressure or dropping the pen, which can damage the nylon tip.
