Description
The desk top pencil sharpener has a ribbed screw that can be turned to adjust the sharpness of the lead point. Turning the screw fully anti-clockwise gives the sharpest point of 0.5mm, while turning the screw fully clockwise gives the least sharp of 4.8mm. Positions in between will vary the sharpness of the point. The machine is delivered from the factory with the screw turned fully clockwise so as to avoid damage.
