The NIL-Tech Pencil Sharpener is a high-quality, compact electric sharpener designed for artists, teachers, and students, offering superior performance and durability. Crafted from premium materials, it consistently delivers a perfect point for drawing, coloring, and writing.
Function Description:
The NIL-Tech Pencil Sharpener is an electric device that sharpens pencils to a precise point. It features an auto-stop sensor that prevents over-sharpening by stopping the helical blade once the desired point is achieved. The sharpener is versatile, capable of sharpening wood, composite, and recycled pencils with diameters between 6.5mm and 8mm. It also includes an improved sharpness adjuster, allowing users to customize the thickness of the pencil point. The device is designed for ease of use and safety, with features like anti-slip pads to prevent movement during operation and an automatic shut-off if the shaving bin is removed.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Blade Type: Ultra durable helical blade.
- Power Sources: Multiple options including 4 x AA batteries (not included), AC power, and USB (5V 2A power source, e.g., power bank).
- Pencil Compatibility: Sharpens wood, composite, and recycled pencils with diameters ranging from 6.5mm to 8mm.
- Shaving Bin Capacity: Larger shaving bin with a 25ml capacity, featuring a large, see-through receptacle for easy monitoring.
- Safety Features: Auto-stop sensor, anti-slip pads, and an immediate stop function if the shaving bin is removed.
- Indicators: LED lights up when the device is in use.
- Operation: Quiet operation.
Usage Features:
- Power Options: The sharpener can be powered in three ways:
- AC Plug: Insert the AC plug into a readily accessible 120-volt outlet.
- USB Cord: Connect the USB cord to any 5V 2A power source, such as a power bank.
- Batteries: Insert 4 x AA batteries into the battery case at the bottom of the sharpener, ensuring correct polarity (+)(-).
- Adjustable Sharpness: The device features a variable sharpness adjuster wheel. Users can adjust the thickness of the pencil point, which may vary depending on the pencil type. For best results with thick leads, utilize the point adjuster feature.
- Pencil Insertion: Insert the pencil straight into the hole. Inserting it with an incline may cause the pencil point to be offset from the core. The LED will illuminate when the sharpener is active, and it will automatically stop once the desired sharpness is reached.
- Shaving Bin: Ensure the shaving bin is correctly inserted before operation, as the machine will not start if it's removed, acting as a safety feature.
- Wood Shavings: Wood shavings will accumulate at the front end of the pencil after sharpening. To reduce clinging wood shavings, half-rotate the pencil before removing it.
Maintenance Features:
- Emptying Shaving Bin: Regularly empty the shaving bin to ensure smooth, trouble-free sharpening. The sharpener will not operate correctly if the bin is full.
- Pencil Type Restrictions: Do not use the sharpener for writing instruments such as crayons, chalk, or soft waxy pencils, as these can clog the sharpener's blades. Using such materials will void the warranty.
- Pencil Insertion Pressure: Avoid forcing or shoving pencils into the sharpener. Excessive pressure can cause the motor to jam. If this occurs, reduce pressure until the motor resumes normal operation.
- Handling: Avoid knocking or dropping the pencil sharpener.
- Disassembly: Do not disassemble the pencil sharpener.
- Child Safety: As with all electrical appliances, keep the sharpener out of reach of small children.
- Battery Storage: Remove batteries when storing the pencil sharpener for extended periods.
