Adjust Your Shears Tension

Adjust tension with the blades closed

A. shears closed— Hold your shears by the thumb ring, with the point at 12:00 o'clock (see figure A)

B. shears at 9 o'clock

— Open the other blade by the finger ring until the point is at 9:00 o'clock (see figure B). Let finger ring blade fall free.

— If your shears have a hand adjustable tension system that clicks when it is turned; or a rubber base under the knob; the blade should stay at the 9:00 o'clock position when released. (see figure B)

C. shears at 11 o'clock— If your shears have a regular tension screw, the blade must stop at 11:00 o'clock when released (see figure C)

D. shears at 10 o'clock— If your shears have any other type of hand adjustable tension system, the finger ring blade should stop at the 10:00 o'clock position (see figure D)

— Adjustments should be made as close to these examples as possible

— On regular screw systems use tool provided with shears or use a screw driver that fits snug. Be careful not to damage screw or shears. With blades closed, place against a solid wood surface while tightening.

— If you cannot adjust your shears tension, clean them and try again
