Emptying instructions should have been on the package. I did it wrong and cracked housing on my new sharpener. Not obvious if you have never owned this sharpener.

Hello. To empty the Premier&reg; Pencil Sharpener, locate first the Triangular indention right below the lid opening. Then, place thumb on indention. Lastly, apply pressure and press upward. This should separate the lid from the body of the sharpener. If you have any more questions, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We&rsquo;re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! Prismacolor&reg; Consumer Care

There is no way of opening it that doesn't break the case. That said, it's great sharpener, but once it's full, just throw it away and get a new one.

How to get the sharpener to not skip. I can feel it kind of skips as I sharpen, when I finish &amp; remove my pencil, there is a big chunk taken out of the wood which often allows breakage &amp; eats up my pencils. How can I fix this? Thanks.
