Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your OLFA scissors:
- Cleaning: After use, especially when cutting sticky or damp materials, wipe the blades clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. The stainless steel blades are rust and corrosion-resistant.
- Storage: Store the scissors in a dry place to prevent any potential moisture buildup.
- Sharpening: While OLFA blades are known for their sharpness and durability, if the cutting performance diminishes over time, the blades can be professionally sharpened.
- Joint Maintenance: The aviation-grade stainless steel rivet joining the blades is designed for durability. Avoid excessive force that could loosen the joint.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your OLFA scissors, consider the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Scissors not cutting cleanly. | Blades may be dull or have residue. | Clean blades thoroughly. If dull, consider professional sharpening. |
| Material slipping during cutting. | Incorrect positioning or material too thick/hard. | Ensure the serrated edge is gripping the material. For extremely tough materials, verify compatibility. |
| Blades feel loose. | Rivet may have loosened over time with heavy use. | While the rivet is durable, continuous heavy-duty use on very tough materials can affect it. Contact OLFA support if this significantly impacts performance. |
