Troubleshooting
Scissors feel stiff or difficult to open/close
Wipe the pivot area clean and apply a small drop of light oil (like sewing machine oil or mineral oil). Work the blades back and forth to distribute the oil.
Blades are not cutting cleanly
Ensure you are cutting materials within the scissors' intended use range. Clean the blades thoroughly. If the issue persists, the blades may need professional sharpening.
Handles feel uncomfortable
Experiment with different grips. The ergonomic design is intended for comfort, but individual hand shapes may vary. Ensure the correct hand (right or left) is using the intended side of the handle for optimal fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of materials including paper, tape, fabric, yarn, and other common household items. Not designed for heavy-duty materials like metal, thick plastic, or dense wood.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the blades clean with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove any residue. For tougher residue, use a damp cloth and dry immediately.
