What do you do when the lead can't come out?

when the lead doesn't come out on the front bottom of the pencil, take the top off, and tip the bottom upside down, and shake it up and down until the lead comes out,or take a pin and insert it in the bottom of the pencil, and very carefully push the the pin in and out, or even sideways until the lead is completely out.

I just took off the end of the pen , and placed more led inside the mechanical pen.

I can't get mine out either. I will try what you said and see if I can get it out. Thanks!

Whenever I have had an issue I have called the manufacturer...they are always willing to help and provide ...sometimes even free of charge. That would be my first place to start. Otherwise go to a craft store ...you can pick it up in bulk. But again my first choice would be to contact the manufacturer.

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. :)

Because there's lead in this product. I just contacted the company and found this out. I will be sending mine back.

Just make sure you check the lead ends but I'm thinking from what I have seen it should with no problem...at worst case scenario return it!!

Just gently pull up an edge to break suction. The product works really well however my led went out after limited use in 2-3 months. I actually just bought a 2nd and hope same doesn't happen as led's tend to have a long lifespan

Hi Janie, I don't know where the lead would be, as it's all bamboo. There isn't any place on it that there could even be any lead, not to mention that it is imported and anything that enters our country has to be Rohs compliant. Lead has been banned in the USA since 1978.

I really can't answer that forsure. It appears to be largely a plastic product. If there is lead I'm not sure where it would even be unless it's where the batteries go in the base of the unit. Sorry!

There are two ways to do it:1) Pull off the entire colored piece at the top of the pencil (it contains the eraser and includes the pocket clip) and drop the lead into the barrel.2) While depressing the button that extends the lead, you can insert lead pieces into the tip where they come out (if lead is already in the tip, you can simply push it through).

I can find no place where lead would be used. It is all wood and hand crafted.

One simply pushes the top end to retract the claws of the holder on the bottom, and the leads needs to be carefully inserted through those claws. The lead just "drops" in. There are no threads of any sort, but instead a solid tube to house the lead.

No - providing your water leads are in good condition. Normally I would advise buying new leads.

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!

Just insert your thumb and middle finger on each side of the battery slide and simply pull it out. There should be very little resistance. If it doesn't come out it could be sign that the battery has leaked and has caused the battery holder to be corroded in place. If that is the case, you will probably need a pair of pliers to free it. Then clean the contacts and install new batteries.

No, once the lead is exposed it stays out. Wouldn't it be nice though if you could find mechanical pencils that did retract the lead? I've never founds one myself.

Just place the lead on the top opening beneath the eraser. Steps: 1. Remove the eraser from the top. 2. Place the lead in the top main hole. 3. Place the eraser back. 4. When you press side button, lead will automatically come down.
