To remove the blade cartridge, rotate the black thumbwheel by hand until the protruding
end of the red release button is facing out.
Press the release button, slide the blue cartridge towards the rear of the unit, and lift it
out.
Next, insert the new cartridge carefully by placing the side with the keyway into the black
thumbwheel and sliding it toward the front of the unit until the cartridge engages with the
hole in the inside cover. Then pull straight up until you hear a click.
Securely lock the cartridge in place by rotating the thumbwheel to the other side and
pressing the red lock button. Remember to press the red lock button as it's a step that can
easily be overlooked.
When finished, turn the sharpener upright, set it firmly on a flat surface using its suction
cup feet and plug the sharpener back into the wall.
How do I replace cutters on the X-ACTO School Pro Pencil
Sharpener?
First, gather the following tools:
o Phillips-Head Screwdriver
o Flat Head Screwdriver
Begin by unplugging the sharpener from the wall.
Turn the sharpener over and remove the three screws on the underside of the base.
Next, remove the two screws beside the cutter assembly near the front of the unit and
remove the top cover.
Then, remove the three screws securing the cutter cover. To help with this process, place
the motor mount on the base to support it.
Next, remove the screw at the center of the large white gear. If your model does not have
a screw at the center of the white gear, please contact customer service for assistance at
1-800-879-4868.
Using a flathead screwdriver, gently pry the white gear off the carrier shaft and remove
the cutter and carrier assembly.
Install the new cutter and carrier assembly by sliding it into place.
Reassemble the sharpener in the reverse order starting with the white gear, then the
screws securing the cutter cover, the screws beside the cutter assembly and lastly the
screws on the underside of the base.
Make sure the power cord strain refill is properly slotted between the base and the top
enclosure.
Once plugged back into the wall, the sharpener is ready for use.
