Q: I was refilling the leads and accidentally extended all three pencil components at the same time. How can I get them to retract?
First, try firmly pressing one of the slide buttons all the way down. If that does not work, please try the following solution.
If you look at the space inside the pen behind the push tabs inside the pen, you should see a white plastic component with a small notch cut out of it. Using a pair of tweezers or a bent paperclip, press down on this notched component. That should cause all of the components to retract.
