Taking Care of your Scissors will pay huge dividends
in how your Scissors/ Shears cut and how long they last. Following are
some tips to follow to Care and treatment of scissors, safety &
sharpening.
Scissors that are properly being taken care of can be enjoyed for a long time. But incorrect use and handling will ruin them.
The following advice should be noted:
1) Keeping scissors Clean
Dust, fluff and the remains of cutting material
should be wiped off the cutting edges and blades. The scissors should
be stored in a dry place. This applies particularly to nickel-plated,
carbon steel scissors and shears because the unprotected areas of the
surface are prone to corrosion in damp air.
Check the tension of your shears periodically.
If it's too tight, the blades will grind against each other as they
cut, too loose and the blades will fold and bend hair instead of
cutting. This may also cause nicks. To check the tension, with your
left hand hold the shears by the ring without the finger rest, point
facing up. With your right hand hold the ring with the finger rest, and
open the shears so that it forms a cross. Release the ring in your
right hand. It should drop only slightly, if it falls more than
slightly, it's too loose; if it doesn't move at all, it's too tight.
Adjust the tension accordingly with a tension adjuster or by turning the
tension adjustment knob. Never adjust the tension on your scissors
while the blades are open. This will eliminate the possibility of nicks
to the blades
