SWORDFISH MULTIPOINT 40233 (01) PDF Document

Please read the following instructions before operating your sharpener. This product is to be used under adult supervision only.

1. Place the sharpener on a flat surface close to an easily accessible socket outlet. Plug the sharpener into the wall socket using the power cable provided.

2. Rotate the dial to select the correct aperture for the pencil in use, then insert the pencil centrally, holding it firmly but pressing only lightly.

3. The sharpener will automatically sharpen and stop when the pencil is sharp.

4. Remove the pencil.

5. Empty the shavings tray by holding it over a waste bin and sliding it out horizontally from the main sharpener unit.

Important: Do not allow shavings to over-fill the tray as this can cause serious damage to the mechanism.

Regular cleaning will ensure that your sharpener operates efficiently.

● Use a small brush (e.g. paintbrush or toothbrush) to clean the cutting blade. Never use metal objects as this may damage the cutting blade.

● The shavings tray can be removed and cleaned with water only. Never clean the main sharpener unit with water or use solvents such as alcohol or thinner.

● Sharpening coloured pencils causes wax to build up on the sharpener blade.

● We recommend alternating between coloured and graphite pencils as graphite will help to clean the blade.

● If excessive build up occurs then clean the blade as per the cleaning instructions.

This sharpener is fitted with a safety switch ensuring that it cannot be operated unless the shavings tray is fully in place.

This sharpener is suitable for intermittent use and should not be used continuously for more than 10 minutes.

Long continual use will cause the thermal cut-out system to activate. This is a safety feature and the sharpener will require a cool down period of approx. 20 minutes before it is ready for use.

As with all sharpeners, frequent use will eventually blunt the sharpener blade. For replacement blades, you will need the product code 40234.
