How do you load more lead into the chamber? I can't get the top off.

You should be able to pull off the eraser and put it in there. It worked ok for me to do that.

You can either pull off the eraser to load or make sure all the lead is out, then retract the lead extender and put the full length of lead into the barrel and seat it firmly.

I haven't had to do that yet with mine; we have a lot of mechanical pencils around our place.

heat up the tip of a #2 Phillips screwdriver & push it down through the topskin to the right or left of center till it pops out of bottom , do not put in center of board , carbon stringer is in center. you may have to cut 4 small slices to allow plug to go through,push bottom plug in & tighten with coin

Pull the band (using its finger-hole) that circles the top of the container. It's a very difficult pull; I've had to have my husband do it for me, and he has often used tools to get it started.

Like Jot said, there is a small compartment that holds the two AA batteries. I sometimes have trouble getting it to slide out. Try applying some downward pressure while pulling on it. Another thing would be the pin. There is a lockout pin that came with the detector that is designed to keep the battery compartment from being opened. If it is in it, you would need to remove it before the compartment is opened. I don't use the pins myself because I change the batteries twice a year.

You should just be able to lift up the whole top whith the lid. Unscrew the 2 back things holding it, and push the whole thing forward and it should go up. First take off the top where the controls are. And unplug the latch.

Push downward hard on the bottom section. There's little ridges on the green section. It should slide off. Batter compartment is in the big green section.

Try prying the top with a screw driver orpry bar. Be careful the plastic edges can be sharp.

open the round cap on the bottom....it's hard so use a screw driver or something else.....fill with water or sand (i used water,cheaper and equally efffective)...put cap back on.....also its heavy so have the base close to wherever it's going to be...good luck

I was having this issue too. I thought I had a defective piece and was about to send it back, but thought I'd call the company first. I got through to a rep almost immediately and she made me do the same thing I was doing before but somehow it worked. To summarize: 1. Push the green cartridge away from the top, towards the cup. 2. Hold the bottom part on the floor, line the top with the bottom and push the top part in really, really hard. If you are able to pull them apart with your hands, then it's not hard enough. I really had to use my full body weight to push it in. 3. Slide the green cartridge into the joint and you are good to go. The rep told me that normally you don't need to use that much force, but with some of the pieces, the assembly is not perfect and needs a lot of force. Hope that helps.

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!!

When filling the top, make sure the bottom chamber is not full. If you put more water in the top chamber when the bottom is full, you may overfill the bottom chamber. The Berkey Guy

Remove hopper flip the burr section over and make sure the o ring that seats the top burr is still intact. I hope this helps

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

There should be a black circle on the side of the gun, use a thin object to push it out completely and the top should come right off

Just pull straight down. If dispensing, make sure the knobby piece is lined up in the track and push straight up.

I don't have mine open now, but recall that the secret was to remove more screws and wires, which I think allowed separating the desired section. I initially tried what looked like the easy way with just a few screws, but the opening was not large enough to take it out that way, because protruding parts prevented mine from sliding out. If that's not clear enough, I can open mine again to refresh my memory.

I had the *exact* same issue. I learned by tapping the unit on the side until the handle jiggles up and down makes it much easier to then simply lift the handle off the top. **UPDATE Fe b 20th** Nevermind, it has now become almost impossible to remove the handle. I now loathe trying to remove the top since it could take anywhere from 3 minutes - 10 minutes... along with a bruised palm of my hand.
