## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the pencil sharpener completely stop when pencil is sharp or does the motor just slow down?**
A: The pencil sharpener starts when you put the pencil in and continues until you pull the pencil out, regardless of whether it is sharp or not. It will keep sharpening as long as the pencil is in

**Q: Does this sharpen pencils with a long gentle taper or a shorter stubbier taper (points dull quicker with short taper)?**
A: Hi. Thank you for showing interest with X-ACTO XLR. This sharpener will works great with wooden pencils, including colored pencils. The pencil save feature prevents the pencil from becoming too sharp when it reaches the ideal sharpness.

**Q: Does this use a transformer?  if yes , the transformer 110v-120v only or 110v-220v (or 240v) as well?**
A: There's no need for a transformer, unless you'll be using it on a 220v outlet.

**Q: Can the sharpening pattern be changed? It sharpens but it leaves too much "wood" on one side of the tip.**
A: Hi, thanks for reaching out. We understand your inquiry about the pattern of the sharpening on the pencils. This is a common customer complaint, but rarely is it due to a defect in the sharpener.  When sharpeners are operating normally, the cutter(s) and carrier rotate all the way around the pencil many times so that they “see” all sides of the pencil equally.  When the sharpening is uneven/not centered, it is usually due to some external factors.

The following tips are helpful to obtain the best results:

1) On multi‐size‐pencil sharpeners, make sure that you
have selected the hole that provides the best fit for
the pencil.  Any “slop” in the pencil fit will translate
into some off‐centeredness.
2) Hold the pencil with a “neutral” grip, not pressing it in
any direction (up, down, left, or right).  Any side force
on the pencil will offset the cutting.
3) Keep the pencil in contact with the cutters but don’t
force it.  Let the cutters do the work.
4) Yes, sometimes the graphite core of the pencil is offset
from the center of the wood casing.  It seems to occur
randomly (even within the length of a pencil) with
some brands having the issue more than others.
5) If you have a stubborn pencil, you can ignore rule #2
and apply a slight side force in the direction of the
excess‐graphite side to take off more of the wood.
Severe off‐center sharpening (to the point where the
pencil is not usable for writing) can sometimes be caused
by a worn internal gear.  This ring‐shaped gear is located at
the base of the cutter(s).  Internal gear wear must be
significant (visually obvious) to be the cause of off‐center
sharpening.
