If scissors feel stiff or cut poorly, do not assume their pivot can be adjusted. Fiskars' 17 cm Classic paper scissors use a fixed rivet, whereas its 25 cm professional dressmaking version has an adjustable screw. Identify the model before attempting maintenance.

1. Identify the model and pivot. Fiskars Classic 17 cm paper scissors (1005150) have a riveted joint, whereas 25 cm professional scissors (1005151) have a screw; maintenance options differ.
2. Match the material to the intended use. The 17 cm version is for paper and light materials; the 25 cm dressmaking version is designed for textiles. Avoid forcing overly thick materials through the blades.
3. After use, inspect and remove paper dust or residue with a soft cloth. If the blades catch or appear damaged, do not twist them to force a cut.
4. Follow the exact product's washing instructions. Fiskars labels both cited Classic models dishwasher-safe, but that does not apply to every coated or specialty scissor. When handwashing, dry before storage.
5. Adjust tension only on a screw-equipped model according to the manufacturer's instructions. Never try to unscrew a fixed rivet or forcibly dismantle scissors; obtain qualified help if adjustment is unfamiliar.
6. Close the blades and store in a dry spot out of children's reach. Stop using scissors with damaged blades or a loose joint until the maker or a qualified repair service can assess them.
