Full details

Troubleshooting

Blades are difficult to open or close.

Check the central pivot screw; it may be too tight. Loosen slightly using a screwdriver. Clean any debris from the pivot area.

Cutting is ragged or uneven.

Adjust the blade tension. If cutting thicker materials, increase tension. If cutting softer materials, slightly decrease tension. Ensure blades are sharp and clean.

Scissors are sticking or squeaking.

Apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot point and work the blades back and forth to distribute the oil. Wipe away any excess.

Rust spots on the blade.

Use a fine-grade steel wool or a rust eraser to gently remove the rust. Clean the blades thoroughly and dry immediately. Apply a thin coat of oil for protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These scissors are ready to use out of the box. For optimal performance, check the blade tension by gently opening and closing the blades. If the action feels too stiff or too loose for the material you intend to cut, use a small screwdriver to adjust the central screw. Turn clockwise to tighten (increase tension) or counter-clockwise to loosen (decrease tension). Test the cut on a scrap piece of material to find the ideal setting.

Care:

  • Lubrication: Periodically, apply a drop of light oil (like sewing machine oil or mineral oil) to the pivot point to ensure smooth operation.
