Adjust tension with the blades closed

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

— 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)

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

— 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
