CARE

To maintain the quality of your scissors in the best possible way, they need to be cared for properly. JAGUAR scissors are made exclusively for cutting natural hair. Also handle your scissors gently. Hard blows, such as dropping on a boy, can damage the scissors. When not in use, the scissors should always be stored in a closed position, be dry and placed on a soft underground.

CLEANING

Proper cleaning of our hairdressing scissors is essential to ensure their longevity and precision. In addition to careful handling of the scissors, they should first be rinsed daily with lukewarm water to remove any residue, especially around the eye rings. For heavier soiling, it is recommended to use a light soapy solution, for example with a little washing-up liquid. The scissors must then be dried thoroughly.

To keep the scissors supple and smooth-running, apply a drop of JAGUAR care oil to the screw and the gear area. It is advisable to open and close the scissors several times afterwards so that the oil can be evenly distributed. The oil ensures smoother running, longer-lasting sharpness and optimum cutting performance. If you have scissors with a flex eye, i.e. a movable thumb eye, we recommend cleaning and oiling these as well.

TENSION

Optimally adjusted tension ensures smooth opening and closing and a gentle cut. Your scissors will cut in any desired position and the selected cutting angle have an optimal cutting performance and the edge sharpness is retained. Once the tension has been optimally adjusted, you only need to assert a minimum amount of pressure to close the scissors (while cutting).

TENSION CONTROL 

Check the movement of your scissors daily if possible, or whenever you notice a change in the cutting performance of the scissors.

• Hold the handle with the thumb ring firmly in your hand. (1)
• Open the scissors.
• Now let fall of the other handle. (2)

TENSION ADJUSTING
The scissors of the WHITE LINE and the PRE STYLE scissors from JAGUAR can be easily adjusted thanks to the slotted screw. All other JAGUAR scissors feature patented screws for individual adjustment of tension. These JAGUAR scissors are supplied with an adjusting key. 

After adjusting the screw, the movement should be checked again. If it is still too loose/to tight, repeat the procedure until the correct movement is achieved.

	TOO TIGHT The tention is set too tight. The blades of the scissors could be damaged. Turn the screw counterclockwise with a 1/16. (Equivalent to 3-4 minutes on the dial of a watch).
	TOO LOOSE If the tension is set too loose, the hair could bend or be "pushed" when cutting. Turn the screw clockwise for 1/16. (Equivalent to 3-4 minutes on the dial of a watch).
	OPTIMAL This ensures that the tension is correctly adjusted for movement. If you close your scissors carefully, you can feel the first contact between the two blades (perception of a very slight resistance). If the adjustment is optimal, no change is necessary.
