SCISSORS CARE

Scissor care & maintenance...
Due to the unique blade design DESIGNDOO shears must be maintained as outlined below. Care and maintenance is the key element in achieving
maximum performance from your DESIGNDOO shears.

*Please note: Failure to perform proper care and maintenance on a daily basis will most likely result in a damaged shears and unsatisfactory
performance.
Please take the time to carefully read the following information. Maintained properly DESIGNDOO shears will perform incredibly well. This information
is the result of many years of study and testing. The methods and techniques are proven and ensure your DESIGNDOO shears will perform "like new"
for as long as possible.


1. Cleaning & maintenance
Using a soft cloth towel thoroughly wipe your DESIGNDOO shears and blades after every cut. This will reduce build-up of chemicals and debris which
may adversely affect the performance of your DESIGNDOO shears throughout your workday. At the end of the day make certain your DESIGNDOO shears
are thoroughly dry between the blades.

2. Lubrication:
After cleaning and drying your DESIGNDOO shears carefully open to a 90 degree angle. Put one or two drops of top quality scissors oil provided with
your DESIGNDOO Shears into the "joint" It assists the cleaning process by washing out dirt and debris from under the pivot and leaves a wax like
coating. This should be done at least once a workday.

Why Oil and Clean Daily?
Daily oiling and cleaning will enhance the performance and extend the cutting life of your DESIGNDOO shears. Regular cleaning and lubrication
protects against rust and deterioration from chemical/moisture contact in the salon environment build-up of bacteria attracting debris in the interior
pivot and blade area reduces friction from blade movement and prolongs sharpness.

3. Adjusting Tension (Balancing):
Adjusting tension is an important part of getting the best results from your DESIGNDOO shears. If your shears have a diamond studded dial it is
important not to rub on the jewels while turning the tension knob. Repeated pressure on the jewels can cause them to break off. Rather turn the
dial from the ridged area around the side not from the top.

If the tension is too loose it will allow your DESIGNDOO shears to fold the hair. If it is too tight it will cause unnecessary wear and user fatigue. To test
for tension hold the shears with the tips pointed upward. Lift one handle up so the blade is in a ninety-degree angle and let the blade fall closed. If
the blade falls completely closed the tension is too loose. Rather it should close about two thirds of the way.

4. Storage
when your DESIGNDOO shears are not being used keep blades in a closed position. This will reduce the chance of nicking and accidental damage to
the blades.
Never use magnets to hold DESIGNDOO shears in storage. This can magnetize the blades attracting undesirable dust and other particles.
How you store your DESIGNDOO shears is very important. For adequate protection and ease of travel you should store your DESIGNDOO Shears in the
case provided. They should be secured in one position. Leather is the material that is most recommended for storage.

5. Sharpening
Your DESIGNDOO shears if maintained properly will have a very long lasting edge. When the time does come for re-sharpening the process must be
done carefully through a professional sharpening service center that has the facility and experience to sharpen high quality Japanese style shears.
Please do your research before allowing your shears to be sharpened by a center. Warranty will be void if improper sharpening damages your
shears.

6. Does and Doesn’t:

1. Clean dry and lubricate your DESIGNDOO shears at the end of each workday.

2. Check your DESIGNDOO shears for adjustment (tension) at least once each day.

3. Check your DESIGNDOO shears for sharpness at least once each month.

4. Handle your DESIGNDOO shears with gentle care. Protect the edges from everything except clean hair.
