Proper care and maintenance of your Bonika Shears will ensure their longevity and optimal performance. Follow these guidelines to keep your shears in top condition:
Oiling:
Apply a few drops of high-quality shear oil at the pivot point daily or at least once a week.
Open and close the shears several times to distribute the oil evenly.
Wipe off excess oil with a soft cloth.
Adjusting:
Regularly check the tension of your shears to ensure smooth cutting action.
If the shears feel too loose or too tight, adjust the screw slightly until they cut effortlessly.
A properly adjusted shear should close smoothly without excessive force and should not fold hair.
Storage:
Always store your shears in a dry and protective case when not in use.
Avoid leaving them in humid environments, such as bathrooms or near sinks, to prevent rust or corrosion.
Keep them away from children and unauthorized users.
Handling and Use:
Only use your shears for cutting hair; avoid cutting paper, plastic, or other materials.
Do not forcefully cut thick sections of hair or use shears for tasks they are not designed for.
Dropping and Damage Prevention:
Dropping shears can cause serious damage, including misalignment and nicks in the blade.
If you drop your shears, inspect them carefully for damage. If they do not cut properly, have them serviced by a professional sharpener.
Sharpening and Maintenance:
Have your shears professionally sharpened once or twice a year, or as needed depending on usage.
Use only authorized Bonika Shears sharpeners to ensure proper blade care.
Regularly clean your shears with a soft cloth dampened with 50% isopropyl alcohol to remove hair and product buildup.
Additional Care Tips:
Avoid exposing your shears to harsh chemicals, including hair color, perm solutions, and disinfectants.
Never soak your shears in water or cleaning solutions—wipe them clean instead.
Always check for signs of wear and address any issues immediately to prevent further damage.
Following these care instructions will keep your Bonika Shears in peak condition for years to come. For further guidance or to find an authorized sharpener, visitwww.bonika.com.
