## Questions & Answers

**Q: I cannot fill my new rotring 600 0,5mm. is it broken? i have had it in pieces, tried for hours to fill it with new leads, both singly and multiple. i**
A: Re-filling is easy, take of the cap, remove the eraser and insert the new sections of lead.

Problems sometimes arise when very short section are left in the bottom and these can make it difficult for the next section to enter.  When this happens it is possible to insert a section from the end, i.e. where it normally comes out, if you press on the cap.  This will clear the jam and it should work properly once more.

**Q: What type of lead comes with the pencil? Thank you**
A: Hi
I think its HB - but it doesn't really matter - its the mechanical pencil you are buying.
These are suburb - I use 4 - 2mm is my favourite.
The leads are cheap as chips - just get one of these pencils in you hand!

**Q: Does the pencil come with lead included?**
A: Yes

**Q: Where are these made?**
A: Japan now - used to be Germany
