Frequently Asked Questions

• How does the retractable tip mechanism work? Clicking the rear button deploys the 4mm drafting sleeve for writing or drawing. Clicking the spring-loaded pocket clip instantly retracts the tip inside the barrel to prevent bending or damage.
• Which lead size should I choose? 0.3mm is ideal for ultra-fine drafting; 0.5mm is the standard for everyday writing and sketching; 0.7mm provides extra break resistance for bold notes; 0.9mm is perfect for bold lines and heavy-handed drawing.
• Can I refill the lead and eraser? Yes, remove the rear push button to reload standard mechanical pencil leads and access the replaceable eraser (Pentel Z2-1N).
• How do I adjust the lead hardness indicator? Loosen the textured metal grip slightly, turn the inner sleeve to reveal your loaded lead grade, and tighten the grip back securely.
