PSX5 Fully Automatic Pencil Sharpener Troubleshooting Guide

PSX5 Fully Automatic Pencil SharpenerBased on common product issues we've seen, most malfunctions are often caused by a jammed, worn, or aging blade. Therefore, we strongly recommend first removing the blade for inspection. Please refer to the video link below for guidance>>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbBgBE8yj6U


Once the blade is removed, please check the following:
Is there any debris or foreign material stuck in the center of the blade or near the movable block on the back?
If debris is present, carefully remove it, then gently tap the blade on a flat surface to dislodge any remaining fragments.

Gently rotate the blade to inspect for signs of wear on the blade itself or the metal gear at the top.

If wear is found, please take a clear photo and send it to us along with your order number. Each order number qualifies for one free blade replacement.

PS: If the product was received as an Amazon gift, you can contact Amazon Customer Service to look up the order number associated with the gift this will be helpful for any future after-sales support.

Charging Instructions:
Use the included 5V charging cable with any standard 5V USB port.  
(Note: Do not use fast-charging devices, as this model does not support fast charging.)  
Charging:Slow blinking indicator  
Fully charged: Steady light  
Overheat protection:Fast blinking (let it cool for ~15 mins before resuming)  
Low battery warning: Fast blinking (charge for 15 mins to reuse. Full charge takes ~2 hrs.)  

If the sharpener is unresponsive:
1. Check if the battery is drained. Charge for 15 mins using the included cable with any 5V adapter/USB port, then retest.  
2. Ensure a 5V adapter is used (*no fast chargers*). Test by connecting to a laptop USB port—slow blinking confirms normal charging.  
3. Verify the lid is fully closed. Twist it until you hear a "click" to lock.  
4. If unresolved, contact support with details for further assistance.  

Pencil inserted but ejected without sharpening:
1. Check if the sharpness setting is at the bluntest level. Adjust to the sharpest setting and retest.  
2. Inspect for stuck lead. Set to bluntest level, gently tap the sharpener on a desk, then retest. If unresolved, follow the video guide to remove and clean the blade/sensor area.

Sudden sharpening issues (blunt cuts, broken pencils, no auto-stop, etc.):
