Use the shears on appropriate materials listed above and avoid cutting very hard items such as metal, frozen food or thick bones to preserve blade sharpness and alignment. Regular cleaning and drying after contact with moist or acidic foods will help maintain performance and hygiene. If the shears are designed for disassembly, follow manufacturer guidance for safe blade removal and reassembly before cleaning.
