Ensure no small fragments of broken lead are stuck in the nose cone; gently clear any debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the set, simply press the rear push-button to advance the lead to the desired length. When the tip becomes blunt, rotate the integrated sharpener located on the cap to restore the point. To change lead colors, press and hold the button while removing the current lead from the front, then insert the new color. Store the pencil in your tool belt using the built-in clip to prevent the mechanical tip from being damaged when not in use. Avoid dropping the tool, as impact can misalign the internal lead-feeding mechanism.
