| How to adjust and recondition your Laschal Uniband
Scissors If the scissors fail to cut consistently, throughout its' entire length, follow these simple steps: | ||
 |
 |
|
| Step # 1 a) Hold the scissors (as shown) firmly in your dominant hand. b) With the thumb and index finger of your non-dominant hand gently but firmly bend the blades towards one another. Enough so that the blades cross over one another in an arc. Because the blades are made of 'spring' stainless steel, they have a natural memory which will allow this maneuver. |
Step #2 a) Close the scissors twice in rapid succession. The blades will automatically reset themselves to their original, functional memory. Note: If the scissors fail to cut consistently after performing steps # 1 and # 2, proceed to step # 3. | |

|
| Step # 3 Spread the handles of the scissors apart, as shown. |
Step # 4 With the blades spread far apart, for access, use an appropriate, flat sharpening stone as shown, to sharpen the blades. The proper sharpening method-With moderate pressure, place the flat of the stone along the bevel of each blade (one at a time) and move the stone firmly towards the cutting surface. This will create a microscopic burr along the cutting surfaces which will enhance cutting efficiency. |
|
| Step # 5 Re-engage male/female spring and repeat step # 1 (which will re-enforce the optimum shearing angle of the blades) |
Step # 6 Repeat step #2 (the closure of the handles of the scissors will accomplish the following: a) It will re-establish the memory of the handle. b) It will re-establish the arced memory of the blades. c) The microscopic burr, which was raised on the cutting surfaces during sharpening, will disappear. In it's place will be a razors edge. |
