Troubleshooting
Lead not advancing
Ensure the lead reservoir is not empty. Twist the mechanism fully and try again. If the mechanism feels stuck, check for any lodged lead fragments.
Lead breaks easily
Use less pressure when writing. Ensure you are using the supplied grade B lead or a similar softness lead. If using harder leads, they may be more prone to breakage.
Twist mechanism is stiff
Gently twist back and forth. If stiffness persists, ensure no debris is in the mechanism. Avoid forcing the mechanism, as this may cause damage.
Eraser wears down quickly
This is normal for replaceable erasers. Simply remove the end cap and insert a new one from the reservoir.
