Caring For Your Diamond Edge Brand
Scissors
As
with any precision equipment a little easy maintenance of your scissors will
ensure that optimum performance is maintained to extend their working life. When blades become dulled and blunt through
use then having your scissors professionally sharpened will restore them to
peak performance. "The Diamond Edge Scissor and Clipper Blade Sharpening
Service” - will restore your scissors to
health as well as conducting a maintenance check and replacing and screws and
stoppers as required though normal wear and tear
Maintenance of Your Diamond Edge
Brand Scissors
After
use wipe the scissors clean with a soft cloth and apply a light coating of oil
to the blades, a drop of oil to the head of the screw and under the joints,
wiping off any excess oil. Oiling after use takes only a few moments and is
particularly important for carbon steel scissors. Carbon steel is usually harder than
stainless steel but is prone to corrosion, particularly if used or stored in
humid conditions.
Store scissors in a closed
position, preferably protecting the blades in a wallet or case,and either
hang them or place them flat where they cannot be damaged. Avoid them being
placed loose in a ‘toolbox’ where constant rifling for equipment can cause
unnecessary damage.
Scissors
Blade Damage.
If scissors are
dropped during use or are knocked onto the floor they often land with the
blades open and this is likely to result in a ‘nick’ in the blade edge.
With straight scissors this can
be felt as a resistance when closing the blade and cause a ‘miss’ in the
cutting action. Continuing to use may result in further damage and
unsatisfactory cutting. Damage to the blade edge is repairable in most cases.
With thinning scissors a nick can
cause the blades to ‘catch’ and not close at all. DO NOT force the scissors
closed as this may cause more damage or result in a broken tooth. If thinning
scissors catch and won’t close, gently lift the blades apart to clear the nick
and close them, do not use them until you have had them repaired.
