If you find that your sharpener is not working effectively it is possible that a loose lead has been caught inside the mechanism. If this is the case you should take the sharpener to pieces and check for any broken pieces of lead that may be preventing the sharpener from sharpening. For more detailed instructions click on the cleaning tab above.

This sharpener is not suitable for chalk, crayons, pastel pencils and soft colouring pencils as they can clog up or damage the cutter blades.

1. Twist the handle of the crank anticlockwise. As you turn it the handle should become loose. Once released, gently pull the handle out of the sharpener.

2. When fully removed, clear the blade of any debris that has collected in the helical blade.

3. Check the hollow down the centre of the helical blade as this may also contain loose debris. If you look down the hollow in the blade you should be able to see through a small hole at the bottom.

4. Once the blade is free of loose debris reassemble the sharpener. The blade should slot back into the body of the sharpener and lock into position once turned clockwise.
