FAQs
Can I use any 0.7mm lead with this pencil?
Yes, it is compatible with all standard 0.7mm leads, though high-quality leads are recommended to prevent jamming.
Does this pencil require sharpening?
No, as an automatic pencil, it maintains a consistent line width through its internal mechanism, removing the need for sharpening.
What is the primary material of the barrel?
The barrel is constructed from high-quality, durable plastic designed for long-term professional use.
How do I replace the eraser?
The eraser is friction-fit; simply pull out the old eraser and insert a new refill into the cap housing.
Is this pencil suitable for heavy handwriting?
Yes, the 0.7mm lead is thicker and more resistant to breakage than 0.5mm alternatives, making it excellent for fast, heavy handwriting.
Troubleshooting
Lead is jamming inside the tip
Remove the lead reservoir, clear any broken fragments using a thin needle from the front, and re-insert fresh lead.
Lead is not advancing when the button is pushed
Check that the lead reservoir is not empty and ensure no debris is obstructing the chuck mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get started, simply remove the end cap to insert the supplied Super Hi-Polymer HB leads into the barrel reservoir. Once loaded, click the top button several times until the lead begins to protrude from the tip. To maintain your pencil, avoid over-extending the lead, as this increases the risk of snapping; typically, extending the lead by 1-2mm is sufficient for most writing tasks. The pencil is compatible with all standard 0.7mm leads, though using Pentel's Hi-Polymer variety is recommended to ensure the internal mechanism functions optimally without jamming. Clean the exterior barrel periodically with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its finish.
