The Swordfish OmniPoint Mechanical Pencil Sharpener is a robust and versatile tool designed for sharpening pencils of various diameters with precision and ease. This manual provides comprehensive instructions for its operation, setting, sharpening, and maintenance, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the device.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Swordfish OmniPoint Mechanical Pencil Sharpener is to sharpen pencils. It features an automatic jaw adjustment system that accommodates pencils ranging from 8mm to 12mm in diameter, making it suitable for a wide array of standard and larger pencils. The sharpener is designed to be secured to a desktop using a provided clamp, ensuring stability during use. It offers a sharpness control feature, allowing users to select between a blunt or a sharp point according to their preference. The sharpening process is automated once the pencil is inserted and the handle is turned, with the sharpener drawing the pencil in and ceasing operation once the desired point is achieved.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Pencil Diameter Compatibility: Automatically adjusts to fit pencils from 8mm to 12mm diameter.
• Blade Assembly Code: Replacement blade assembly code is 40306.
• Mounting: Designed to be secured to a desktop with a clamp.

Usage Features:

1. Secure Mounting: Before operation, the sharpener must be securely fastened to a desktop using the provided clamp. This prevents movement and ensures safe and effective sharpening.
2. Pencil Insertion:
   • To open the pencil jaws, press the button labeled 'A' (as indicated in the diagram).
   • Push the slide forward to extend the front plate, labeled 'B'.
   • Insert the pencil into the open jaws.
   • Release pressure on the button 'A' to secure the pencil.
3. Automatic Jaw Adjustment: The pencil jaws automatically adjust to fit any pencil within the 8mm to 12mm diameter range, eliminating the need for manual adjustments based on pencil size.
4. Sharpness Control: A dedicated control allows users to customize the sharpness of the pencil point:
   • Twist the sharpness control to the right for a blunt point.
   • Twist the sharpness control to the left for a sharp point.
5. Sharpening Process:
   • Turn the handle in a clockwise direction.
   • The sharpener will automatically draw the pencil into the sharpening mechanism.
   • Sharpening will automatically cease once the desired point, as set by the sharpness control, has been achieved. This automatic stop feature prevents over-sharpening and extends pencil life.
