If I have to click the advance the lead, then what does the automatic part do ?

Likely because you can fill the barrel with multiple leads and they sequence themselves automatically as you use them. Not so different from the concept of an automatic or semiautomatic weapon. Sounds like you are looking for Auto Advance leads (papermate), something from Faber Castell (Grip Matic, Alpha Matic, TK matic) or even a Liquid Pencil. There is no shortage of choice out there. Personally I don't like any of those, from my experience Twist-Erase III is quite reliable and I can precisely adjust the length of the protruding lead. It seems Pentel has now started labelling it a mechanical pencil rather than automatic, not sure why.

Automatic? I don't believeThere is an automatic mechanical pencil. This works just like most. Push to advance lead and twist to advance eraser.

Good question. I use these pencils almost every day for the last 10+ years. I don't think I've purchased more than 3 or 4 of them due to their durability. I've never noticed the word "automatic" in the title until you asked this question. I suppose, in Clintonian terms, it depends on the definition of "automatic". I suspect it refers to the process of the lead "automatically" loading into the pencil barrel when you push on the top of the pencil to load a new piece of lead. Short of contacting Pentel, I wish you good luck on finding the answer.

I'm not sure what automatic is referring to. It works like most other mechanical pencils, you press down on the back end where the erasure is to extend the lead. They are very good pencils though, if you are going to do a lot of writing then these are definitely worth the price. They feel very solid and sturdy and the lead stays in place and does not break. The erasure also works really well and is easy to replace, it does not detract when you are erasing hard either.

They are called automatic pencils because they don't have to be sharpened, like wood/graphite pencils.

Mine is automatic. When you open the door so far, it stays open until you pull it closed. We don't have a switch or anything like that.

Mine does it too.If it is running and you press buttons 1-4 it will move to that speed without priming.But if it is running and a schuduled time kicks in, it will prime and then go to that speed.Redundant I know, but that's it.

On my 2004 suburban, it was automatic. I did disconnect the battery while replacing the unit though, to reset the PCM.

There is a saftly right underneath the push button to start. It just slides down and clicks into place. You have to do it every time.

The very smaoll eraser is located in the top button that advances the lead, It is easily exposed by pulling up on the top button to remove the eraser cover that can be left off if desired.

The trimmer line will not advance automatically. You have to manually take off the trimmer replacement head and manually unwrap the line and then string it through the head while trying to keep the line from unraveling from around the trimmer head. I true pain in the rear. if you want to be very frustrated and not be able to use it to trim, but need a great paperweight in the garage, then buy it. I am putting mine out on the curb for garbage pickup tommorow.

Yes, it automatically advances. When you need to go back to one - it's a fairly simple process.

There is a push button switch on the right handle bar. When it's pushed in it's in pedal assist, when it's out it is in manual.

It should only say processing if it is in a special effect mode. If you put it on automatic it will not need to process.

Nope sadly its automatic. But dont waste your money on this product the heating element doesnt keep anything melted and the motor goes out after two uses. 0 stars after only 1 month of use

I am not sure but I think its automatic because there is no switch/button/command to make it a manual option

I believe you push the tab that sticks out of the top step that says "PUSH"

You have to hold down the button. But it isn't a big deal. You almost do it automatically.

If you're referring to the orange LED on the front, I believe you push it in. It's a button itself. Hope that helps.
