REPLACING THE PEN TIP
The pen tip (nib) will wear with normal use. Excessive pressure will cause the nib to wear sooner.
When the nib gets too short or develops a sharp edge, replace it with one of the extra nibs that came
with the pen.
If the pen nib wears and becomes angular, it may damage the coating on the Cintiq display screen.
To avoid this, periodic nib replacement is recommended.
Important: When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen stand or lay it flat on your desk.
To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store the tool in a container where it will rest on its
tip or eraser.
Warning Choking hazard. Prevent children from swallowing the pen tip or side switch.
The pen tip (nib) or side switch may accidentally be pulled out if children are
biting on them.
To remove the old nib:
Clasp it with a Wacom nib extractor, pair of
tweezers, needle-nosed plier, or similar
instrument and pull the old nib straight out of
the pen. To insert a new nib:
Slide it straight into the barrel of the pen.
Firmly push the nib until it stops. The new nib
will slide into the correct position.
