Setup, Compatibility & Care
These scissors require no setup—they are ready to use immediately out of the packaging. To maintain the life of the blades, avoid using the scissors to cut heavy plastic, wire, or adhesive materials, as these can dull the edge and create sticky residue. If the blades become dusty or accumulate glue, wipe them down with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth and ensure they are thoroughly dried before replacing the protective cover. Store the scissors in the cover when not in use to prevent the tips from becoming bent or misaligned.
