Keeping your Bostitch 03773 1-Hole Electric Pencil Sharpener clean ensures it works effectively. Here's a simple guide:
- Safety First: Before you begin, always switch off your sharpener and unplug it from the power source.
- Remove the Shavings Tray: Locate the shavings tray. It's usually found at the bottom or side of the sharpener. Carefully pull or slide it out.
- Empty the Tray: Dispose of the collected pencil shavings in a trash can. Gently tap the tray to remove any stubborn bits.
- Clean the Tray: Rinse the shavings tray with water or wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Make sure it's completely dry before putting it back.
- Wipe the Exterior: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the outside of the sharpener, removing any dust or dirt. Avoid using harsh cleaners or getting the sharpener itself wet.
- Replace the Tray: Once the tray and sharpener are clean and dry, slide the tray back into place. Ensure it's secure for optimal performance. Regularly cleaning your Bostitch 03773 sharpener will prevent clogs and keep it running smoothly.
