Notes
(1) Usage Notes
1. Blade‑sharpness Maintenance Tips
Newly finished blades feature extreme sharpness. For initial break‑in period, use for thin wet hair slicing only. Avoid dry fast empty snipping and ultra‑hard dry hair cutting. Never cut non‑hair substances to preserve original blade sharpness and extend tool service lifespan.
2. Prevent Blade‑edge Chipping & Stiff Operation
Avoid excessive thumb pressure on the moving blade during operation. Incorrect force causes asynchronous rotation of internal bearing and screws, resulting in uneven track friction, blade notch and stiff cutting feedback.
3. Running‑in Periodents Requirem
New sharp blades require adaptation between tool and hand. During the break‑in phase (20–30 haircut practices), avoid reverse angle cutting, lifting slicing, sliding trimming and pull‑cut motions to protect blade integrity.
4. Clean After Cutting Wet Or Chemically‑treated Hair
After trimming wet hair or perm/dyed hair, thoroughly remove residual water, hair debris and chemical stains on inner blade surfaces to prevent oxidation rusting and maintain consistent cutting smoothness.
5. Post‑use Maintenance Procedure
After daily use, wipe blades with professional chamois leather, apply protective lubricant on blade edges and pivot tracks, fully close the tips and store inside protective shear cover.
6. Factory‑reconditioning Suggestion
To sustain optimal cutting performance, keep hair section cuts flat and protect hair cuticles from splitting, professional factory maintenance is recommended every six months.
(2) Maintenance Notes
1. Flat‑blade Scissors Cleaning Method
Fold the chamois leather into double layers for adequate thickness. Open scissors over 45 degrees, grip the blade with leather and wipe slowly from pivot to tip. Firmly stabilize the handle to prevent blade cutting through leather or accidental hand injury.
2. Thinning‑shear Cleaning Method
Clean inter‑tooth residual hair with mini cleaning brush first, then wipe horizontally along tooth lines with soft leather, fully remove debris and apply lubricant to guarantee smooth opening and closing.
3. Opening‑closing Performance Inspection & Adjustment
Regularly test scissors flexibility. Qualified standard: only the front 1/3–1/4 blade tip remains slightly unclosed. If unqualified, fine‑tune the screw nut tension to restore balanced operating resistance.
4. Repair & Maintenance Service Trigger Conditions
Complete official maintenance within one year of purchase. Immediately contact supplier for professional servicing if severe hair slipping, blade chipping, hair pinching, pulling or accessory loss occurs.
5. Daily Maintenance Importance
Professional hairdressing scissors are core stylist working equipment. Daily cleaning and lubrication stabilize cutting accuracy, improve working efficiency and reduce long‑term occupational hand fatigue.
Supplementary Remarks
These professional structural straight shears are dedicated to hairstyle framework shaping and contour refining, without any thinning or bulk removal function. Pair with professional thinning shears for volume reduction needs. Ultra‑sharp blades require controlled cutting strength and proper angle techniques, suitable for users with basic haircut skills. For ultra‑fine fragile hair types, reduce cutting frequency to avoid hair damage. Consistent daily cleaning and maintenance effectively prolong tool durability.
