How to Use an Alvin Rotary Pencil Lead Sharpener
Rotary pencil lead sharpeners by Alvin are designed to sharpen the graphite tip of the pencil to a fine point. The pencil must be properly positioned into the sharpener in order for it to properly function. Attempting to sharpen the lead tip incorrectly can result in a broken tip or a lack of proper sharpening. The Alvin sharpener is designed to be operated with only one hand.
