Troubleshooting
Chalk breaks during sharpening
Ensure the chalk is inserted correctly and apply gentle, steady pressure while twisting. Avoid forcing the chalk.
Sharpener not catching the chalk
Check if the chalk stick is a standard size compatible with the sharpener. Ensure the chalk is positioned correctly within the sharpening mechanism.
