Setup, Compatibility & Care
These scissors require no setup out of the box—simply remove the packaging and they are ready for immediate use. To ensure the longevity of your Trimits scissors, store them in a dry place to prevent moisture accumulation, even though the steel is rust-resistant. Wipe the blades clean with a dry, lint-free cloth after cutting adhesive materials (like tape or stickers) to prevent residue buildup. If the cutting action feels sluggish, a light application of machine oil at the pivot point can help restore smooth operation.
