How do I get the Royal p60 pencil sharpener to operate?

We had to pull back on the pencil to get it to work. Product is pretty crappy. Nothing beats the old school manual pencil sharpeners!!

Just gently insert a pencil into the opening, give a slight push, and sharpen away--unless of course, you have a defective unit. I bought mine in October of 2013, and it continues to give excellent service. See my 5 star review.

I would love some instructions. My Graphgear 1000 (PG 1015) has stopped working (lead won't advance) six days after purchase. I would love to know how to fix the problem.

No. You need one that will run off of an external power supply. This one has an unremovable chord attached to it. Or you could plug it into a transformer if you have one already. The model 1771 should work for you but it isn't a heavy duty sharpener.

We have the model 610 and as of yet, have not had to use the sharpener. It was advertized as working for the 609, 610 and others...

There's an oval button on the back by where the cord is plugged in. Push that button and the bottom pops open so that you can empty the sharpener. Be sure you're holding it upside down when you push the button or the shavings will fall out all over you and whatever else is under it!

Hi Michelle. Pull out the silver button at the non cap end (the part which has the pencil point). Throw the lead in there! I love this pencil...have it in almost every color!!

My sharpener would not run on your electrical supply. It's designed for the US market. Perhaps if you purchased a unit from a UK based merchant. I do like my sharpener. Good luck.

You may be using too much pressure on it. It requires very minimal pressure to sharpen a knife. Most sharpeners will bog down with excessive pressure. Try a very light touch with the blade.

I found this link that shows what apps it works with. https://www.fiftythree.com/pencil-ready

Go to youtube and look up the video, they show you exactly how it works.If yours doesn't work like in the vid, send it back immediately for a refund/exchange.

I just sharpen mine with an Xacto knife to maximize the lead. Works great ^^ But an answer to your question, you can use any sharpener although I recommend not using an electric one because they tend to "Eat" up the pencils.

No Melissa. My sons and I having been using a regular pencil sharpener. But if you do try the sharpener, please let me know if I missing out.

I've purchased several of these at Sam's Club, each time hoping the previous one was just a lemon. I think the model is a lemon. One stopped working a minute after plugging it in. When working, they sharpen fast, but I don't think you should buy one!

you need to pinch together the two black things and pull out the silver plate on the front. Once fully extended, insert your pencil all the way into the sharpener through the hole. Begin sharpening by rotating the lever and you will feel lever becomes light when pencil is sharpened. To take out the pencil, you need to pinch open the black things

My electric pencil sharpener has been excellent. I have used it lots and emptied it often with no problem. Have no idea what your problem could be. Are you sure you replaced the container firmly?

Mine sharpened two pencils, then ceased to work. Needless to say, I was VERY disappointed!
