2. Adjusting Sharpness Settings

Rotate the dial at the bottom of the sharpener to select one of three sharpness settings:

  • Sharp Tip (1st gear): Per lavori di precisione.
  • Medium Tip (2nd gear): Adatto per schizzi o testi generici.
  • Blunt Tip (3rd gear): Ideal for shading or for children who are hard on pencils.

Nota: For soft-core pencils (e.g., some colored pencils), use medium or blunt settings to prevent lead breakage. Ultra-soft pencils are not recommended.
