How to use

Hold the scissors with the thumb in the smaller loop and the middle finger in the larger loop, resting the index finger along the handle for guidance. Position the material between the blades and make smooth, steady cutting motions, using the full blade length for longer cuts and the blade tip for precision work. Keep fingers away from the cutting path and close the scissors when not in use to avoid accidental contact with the blades. Clean blades with a soft cloth if adhesive residues or paper dust accumulate.

Usage recommendations

Use these scissors primarily with paper, light cardboard and common craft materials; avoid cutting hard or metallic objects to preserve the blade edge. Store in a dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to reduce the risk of corrosion. For sustained performance, wipe blades clean after use and tighten or check the pivot screw if cutting becomes uneven.
