Use only soft brushes and non-aggressive detergents.
Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials.
Dry the scissors thoroughly after cleaning.
Store scissors in a clean and dry place.

Add one drop of oil behind the tension screw every week.
Keep scissors away from moisture.
Avoid dropping scissors onto hard surfaces.
Store scissors in a protective pouch or case.

Tension Adjustment
