Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Draper combination shears typically require no initial setup beyond ensuring the locking device is disengaged. The adjustable bolted joint can be tightened or loosened using an appropriate tool if the cutting action feels too stiff or too loose. Always ensure the joint is secure but allows for smooth operation.
Compatibility: These shears are designed for cutting materials such as cardboard, various plastics, aluminium foil, brass foil, and copper foil. They are *not* compatible with hardened steel, iron sheets, or thick wires.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and prevent rust, clean the blades after each use with a dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild solvent and then wipe dry. Lightly oil the blades and pivot point periodically. Store the shears with the locking device engaged in a dry place to protect the blades and prevent accidental opening.
