This electric pencil sharpener gets woodcase pencils to a precise tip, so there’s less lead breakage and less distractions in the classroom. The fly-away cutter stops sharpening when a pencil has reached its ideal sharpness. Meanwhile, the SafeStart® electric motor stops when the extra-large, easy-to-empty shavings bin is removed. The slip-resistant bottom keeps the pencil sharpener steady. Finally, a six-size dial fits nearly every pencil and the printed indicators provide an ease of use. It’s also compatible with colored pencils.

A new teacher rarely receives a heavy-duty sharpener, and the School Pro's reliability means it is the kind of gift that genuinely gets used from day one in their first classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this sharpener a good holiday or Christmas gift for a teacher?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

The School Pro is a classroom-grade tool from the #1 electric sharpener brand, which makes it a far more meaningful and lasting gift for a teacher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a better gift than flowers or a generic gift card for a teacher?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor teachers, practical classroom supplies they will genuinely use daily are often more appreciated than decorative gifts.

As a standard X-ACTO classroom sharpener, it is widely available and easy to ship or pick up locally, which makes it a strong option when you need a teacher gift on short notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I set up the X-ACTO School Pro Electric Pencil Sharpener for first use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace the sharpener on a flat, stable surface such as a teacher's desk, classroom counter, or home study desk. Make sure the XL shavings bin is fully inserted and locked into place, since the SafeStart motor will not run unless the bin is properly attached.

The XL bin is designed for easy disposal, so you can empty the contents directly into a trash can and slide the bin back into place until it clicks.

The sharpener is designed for classroom environments where it remains plugged in for daily use. There is no heating element, and the SafeStart motor only runs when a pencil is inserted and the bin is properly attached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long will the helical cutter last with daily classroom use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe break-resistant helical cutter is engineered for heavy-duty daily classroom sharpening.

An electric pencil sharpener like the X-ACTO School Pro sharpens automatically in seconds, stops at the ideal point to prevent lead breakage, and is built for high-volume daily use in classrooms and art rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Knackely","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":47893647851625,"sku":"CGFB086P836K4","price":45.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/8786\/4937\/files\/break-resistant-helical-cutter-for-precise-durable-tips-1.jpg?v=1786594439","url":"https:\/\/knackely.myshopify.com\/products\/x-acto-teacher-appreciation-pencil-sharpener-gift-back-to-school-classroom-supply-with-safestart-motor","provider":"Knackely","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
