Use and Care
Inspect the cutting edges before use and avoid forcing the scissors through material that requires a heavier or specifically rated tool. Keep fingers clear of the blades, clean after use and dry before storage. Stainless steel is corrosion resistant, not immune to corrosion; use cleaning methods compatible with the tool and your workplace procedures.
