How do I stop the lead from going in when I put the pencil on the paper? I changed the lead, but it didn't help. It won't write.

The only time I have that problem is when the lead is getting too short for the pencil to "hold" onto. Otherwise, I have not had a problem like this.

Make sure you are using the right diameter lead. If it's still not working you have a defective pencil.

I have never had a problem with that. If I were to venture a guess as to why this is happening, my first question would be - what are you trying to clip it to? The only way I could see this coming off is if the clip was streched beyond its capacity. If you use a clip board, clip the pencil to the inside of the clip, or a couple top sheets of paper. It's not made to clip to anything thicker than a composition notebook cover. The other suggestion of bending and super glue sounds like a reasonable fix for the existing problem.

Pull out the opening where you put the pencil, turn the black ring on the handle and remove the sharpener arm to take out the sharpening unit. (Just like you put it together) Then I used a large paper clip to push on the lead. It is easy to see when it is apart. Push on the lead until it pops out. Sometimes just shaking it into a trash can can also make it let go. Put the sharpener together and your off again to perfect sharpened pencils. :)

The "Lead" is actually a 0.5mm graphite rod that advances from the tip by activating a clicking mechanism which encompasses the upper portion also containing the eraser. Lead hasn't been used in pencils probably ever, but pecils were long the cause of lead poisioning because of the paint which DID contain high amounts of lead. And you know how hard it is to stop chewing on a pencil. I use the thread of lead poisioning now to deter my child from putting the pencil in his mouth, but you and i both know that it is unlikely.

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!!

First of all there are two ways to refill lead.First way is to click on the button on the side and insert lead from the tip of the pencil (at the same time)Second way is to pull the back colored part out and fill in lead

The leads are all inside and the upper chamber is clear so you can see that. You hold the pencil tip up and push the yellow bottom end to retract the lead, then you rotate the "clip" to another color and push the yellow bottom end to extract the new color. I always hold my finger over the tip to control the amount of lead coming out.

Turning barrels on both the pen and pencil. This feature on the pencil is kind of a pain. I frequently have to take long lists of numbers over the phone. It is difficult to turn the barrel quickly to get more lead. It's just a minor annoyance though, if you aren't in a hurry.

There is a sleeve that supports the very thin lead 0.5 mm. It is out when using the pencil to write. It does slide back in with the lead. I usually push the top, and then push the lead and sleeve back up into the tip. It does not retract by itself. I suppose I could leave it sticking out, but it would poke holes in my shirt pocket.

You put it in the same way it comes out. DO NOT TAKE OFF THE TOP! Press the top down (like how you would click a pen) and hold it down. Insert the eraser (clear stick first) into the bottom of the Tombow mono and push it all the way in. Basically it should resemble pushing the lead back Into a mechanical pencil

To remove grab the nub and pull directly out of the pencil. It may feel like it is stuck so just pull a little harder. To insert reverse the process.

You must click the top cover over the eraser or the eraser itself to advance lead. The main reason this is my favorite pencil is that it automatically rotates the lead as you write, keeping the lead pointed and greatly reducing lead breakage.

I had very similar one and used like 20 years. I assume something stuck in/round blade which happens sometimes. I assume center core of pencil remains inside the blade. I recommend to clean. As long as your students use appropriately, it should last years.

I take the cap off, and remove the eraser, and drop it in. Also, I have put lead on piece at a time, by holding down the cap over the eraser, and inserting throuh the writing end of the pencil.

I am not sure can't find the directions. I am hoping when I finish one color, the little left will fall out. I can't pull a color out now. The lead is thick. They do Pentel, has a colored lead one with point 7 lead which I which I had as I write with that in a lead pencil. Hope this helps!

The mechanism works everytime you lift the pencil of the paper. If you write in cursive, you will not notice if as much. I suggest you tap it on your finger to get a feel for how it works.

It does work on colored pencils but when the lead breaks off as you are sharpening, you have to shake it out otherwise it jams. I haven't had any problems.
