CARE AND PROTECTION

Mundial scissors and shears are precision instruments that will last for a lifetime with simple care. When the shears or scissors are not in use they should be kept in their original package to protect them from scratches and dust. Store in a moisture free environment to avoid rusting. An occasional drop of oil on the screw and blade will insure a smoother and longer cutting life. If scissors cannot complete the cut, stop cutting. Do not force a cut. Cut heavy materials near the pivot, not near the tips of the blades. Use the right scissors or shears for the right job; for example, embroidery scissors are not to be used for heavy fabric. Handle with care, dropping scissors can knock them out of alignment, reducing cutting accuracy. Do not use water to clean. Wipe off excess lint with clean/soft cloth after each use.
