How do I fix a jammed pencil sharpener?
Because of the variety of factors at work when sharpening a pencil, there are a couple different
things that can cause it to jam.
One of the more common causes for a jam is when the receptacle of a sharpener becomes
overfilled. This usually causes pencil shavings to enter the ring gear at the back of the
cutters, preventing them from rotating properly.
To check for shavings in the ring gear, unplug the sharpener, remove the receptacle and
turn the sharpener over for inspection
To free the cutters from shaving debris, use a small tool such as a paper clip to clear the
shavings out of the gear teeth.
Pencil sharpener jams can also be caused by a foreign object being inserted into the
sharpener's cutters.
If that's the case, follow these simple steps to remove the object from the cutters.
First, unplug the sharpener from the wall.
Turn the sharpener over and remove the screws in the base that secure the top enclosure.
Remove the top enclosure.
Next, remove the screws holding the cutter cover to the motor mount.
Inspect the inside bore of the cutter carrier and remove any foreign objects or debris.
Reassemble the sharpener in the reverse order starting with the screws holding the cutter
cover and then the screws securing the enclosure.
Plug back into the wall and the sharpener is ready for use!
How do I adjust the laser on a X-ACTO Laser Paper Cutter
with a plastic base?
After being shipped or transported home from the store there are a couple things to check
to ensure your X-ACTO Laser Paper Cutter is working properly.
First and foremost, you'll need to power the cutter with four AA batteries.
You can do this by removing the screw from the underside of the laser housing, then
remove the cover, install the batteries, replace the cover and secure the screw in place.
After the paper cutter is powered, it's important to ensure the laser hasn't shifted in
transportation.
To do this, remove the screw that houses the laser mechanism.
Then, squeeze the sides of the laser cover gently to remove the cover and access the laser
mechanism.
The next step is to adjust the laser rotation and position to the desired angle by loosening
and tightening the adjustment screw respectively.
When the laser is at the desired angle, simply replace the cover and you'll be ready to use
your X-ACTO Laser Paper Cutter.
