## Long description

Maped Expert symmetric scissors with 18 cm blades are designed for everyday cutting tasks in school, office and hobby environments.

The scissors combine a balanced blade length with an ergonomic shape to support extended use while maintaining control and accuracy.
Advantages

 Blade material: stainless or coated cutting edges suitable for paper and light materials
 Intended use: general cutting of paper, cardboard and light craft materials

How to use
Hold the scissors by the symmetric handles with the thumb and fingers comfortably placed in the grips; the design supports either right- or left-handed use. Align the blades with the material to be cut, apply steady pressure and move the blades through the cut in a controlled motion. For longer, straighter cuts use the full blade length and guide the material with the free hand. Keep the hinge area free of debris to maintain smooth operation.

For best performance, use the scissors on appropriate materials such as paper, card and light craft substrates. Avoid cutting metal, thick plastic or other hard materials which can dull or damage the blades. Store in a dry place and wipe blades clean after use to preserve cutting quality.
