If you're wondering why your Royal P50 Electric Pencil Sharpener seems not to be sharpening your pencils anymore, these simple steps are all you need to solve that problem.
The blade is responsible for sharpening your pencils. A damaged or worn-out blade will result in a poor sharpening job, but a sharpened pencil will nonetheless be produced. This is important to note, as any issue other than this is likely due to a separate problem from the sharpening blade, which this guide will not address.
Trying things such as using several different pencils, checking for a shavings buildup, or using a different outlet will help eliminate the chances of replacing a perfectly good blade.
Before beginning, ensure the sharpener is completely unplugged and powered down to prevent any unfortunate accidents from happening.

Using the same Phillips screwdriver, push the rod upwards by lodging the screwdriver where the rod rests, beneath the metal plate.
