  • [Adjusting tension of the scissors screw]

    Please check if the screw tension is too loose or too tight to prevent the problems with sharpness according to the instructions as follows:

    (1) Check the screw tension
    Hold the scissors as shown in the picture, open the blades 90°, and then release the upper blade handle. If the blades close completely or do not close at all, tension of the screw needs to be adjusted as per step (2).

    (2) Appropriate tension of the scissors screw
    If the blades close completely at step (1), the screw is too loose and should be turned clockwise to tighten it. On the other hand, if the blades do not close, the screw is too tight so turn it to the left to loosen it.
    – Adjust the flat screw with the special screwdriver provided, the other screws can be turned with fingers.
    *Turn it one notch at a time to adjust to the appropriate tightness.

    (3) For maintenance
    If there is hair left on the blade, it may cause feeling something wrong when opening and closing the scissors, so be sure to wipe the blade with a scissor cloth. To long last scissors, apply 2-3 drops of the maintenance oil to the screws, pivot ride area and inside of the blade, and spread it out with tissue etc regularly.
