IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY INFORMATION
Product Name: Fabric Scissors (also known as Fabric Shears, Dressmaking Shears)
Intended Use: Specifically designed for precision cutting of various textile materials including cotton, polyester, polycotton, mesh, webbing, batting, and other fabrics for sewing, quilting, bag making, apparel construction, and general crafting projects. Not intended for paper, wire, or other non-fabric materials.
Target User: Adults aged 18+. Consumers of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced crafters.
Product Description: A handheld cutting tool featuring two sharp, elongated blades pivoted together, designed for smooth and precise cuts through fabric. Typically made with stainless steel or high-carbon steel blades and ergonomic plastic or metal handles. Available in various lengths.
Hazards: Fabric scissors, by their nature as cutting tools, present inherent physical hazards. Proper handling, storage, and maintenance are crucial to mitigate these risks. This product is designed to be safe under normal and reasonably foreseeable conditions of use. Risks are primarily physical, stemming from the sharp edges and points of the blades.
Cuts / Puncture Wounds: The primary hazard. The extremely sharp blades and pointed tips can cause accidental cuts or puncture wounds to fingers, hands, or other body parts during handling, use, cleaning, sharpening, or storage. This can lead to pain, bleeding, and potential infection. The larger size of fabric scissors compared to thread snips can make wounds potentially more severe. If you experience a cut: Clean the Wound: Immediately wash the injured area thoroughly with soap and warm water for several minutes. Apply Pressure: If bleeding, apply gentle, direct pressure with a clean cloth or sterile gauze until bleeding stops. Disinfect: Apply an antiseptic solution or wipe to the wound. Cover: Cover the wound with a clean, sterile bandage. Monitor for Infection: Watch closely for signs of infection (redness, swelling, increased pain, warmth, pus, fever). If any signs appear or if the wound is deep, large, or doesn't stop bleeding, consult a medical professional immediately. Tetanus: Ensure your tetanus vaccination is up to date.
Eye Injury: During use, if the scissors slip, spring back unexpectedly (less common with fabric scissors than snips, but still possible), or if the user positions their face too close to the cutting action, the sharp blades or points could potentially cause eye injury. Fragments of material being cut could also become projectiles if the blades are used incorrectly or are dull. If you experience and Eye Injury: If a blade or fragment enters the eye, do NOT rub the eye. Seek immediate emergency medical attention.
Choking Hazard (for young children/vulnerable adults/pets): While larger than thread snips, smaller fabric scissors or components (e.g., blade caps) could still pose a choking hazard if ingested by infants, toddlers, or pets. Improper storage significantly increases this risk. If you Ingest (Choking): If a child or pet is choking on any part of the scissors, follow standard first aid procedures for choking. Seek immediate emergency medical attention.
Blade Damage / Breaking: If used on materials thicker or harder than intended (e.g., paper, cardboard, wire, plastic, multiple very thick layers of fabric), the blades can become dull, nicked, bent, or even break, creating uneven or sharp edges and reducing cutting effectiveness. Broken fragments could potentially become projectiles. Damage can also occur if scissors are dropped.
Wound Infection: Any cut or puncture wound, if not properly cleaned and cared for, can become infected by bacteria from the skin or environment, leading to redness, swelling, increased pain, pus, and in severe cases, systemic infection (e.g., tetanus if vaccination is not up to date).
---------------------------------------------------
To ensure the safe use of fabric scissors and minimize associated risks, adhere to the following recommendations:
Always Handle with Care: Assume the blades are always sharp. Exercise extreme caution when handling, using, cleaning, sharpening, or retrieving the scissors. Store scissors in a safe, designated place when not in use, such as a scissor case, a drawer with a protective cover, or a magnetic strip where blades are covered. Many fabric scissors come with a protective sheath or cover; always use it. Keep out of reach of children, vulnerable adults, and pets at all times. Store with blades closed. Never Leave Unattended: Do not leave scissors lying open or carelessly on a work surface where they could be knocked off or grabbed by a child/pet. Pass Safely: If passing scissors to another person, always pass them with the handles first, ensuring the blades are closed and facing away from the receiver's hand. Clear Workspace: Maintain a clear, well-lit, and organized crafting area to prevent accidental contact with the blades.
Intended Use Only (Fabric Only): Use fabric scissors only for cutting fabrics and textiles. DO NOT use them for paper, cardboard, plastic, wire, or any other non-fabric materials, as this will dull the blades and compromise their performance for fabric. This is crucial for maintaining sharp edges and preventing damage.
Keep Fingers Clear: Always keep your non-cutting hand and fingers well clear of the blade path. When cutting large pieces of fabric, position your non-cutting hand far enough away to avoid accidental contact.
Control Your Cut: Cut away from your body. Avoid cutting towards yourself or others. Ensure you have a stable grip on both the fabric and the scissors.
Inspect Before Use: Before each use, quickly inspect the blades for any damage, nicks, or looseness. Do not use damaged scissors.
Use with Good Lighting: Ensure adequate lighting in your workspace to clearly see what you are cutting.
Steady Surface: Use scissors on a stable, flat surface where possible, especially for precision cuts.
Maintain Sharpness: Dull blades can be more dangerous than sharp ones as they require more force to cut, increasing the risk of slipping. Have fabric scissors professionally sharpened or use a dedicated fabric scissor sharpener regularly.
Ergonomics: For prolonged use, make sure these scissors fit comfortably with your hands. This will also improve control. All hands are different so it is your responsibility to find scissors that work well with your grip. Take breaks to rest your hands.
Clean Carefully: Clean blades with a soft, dry cloth. If stubborn lint or adhesive residue is present, use a specialized scissor cleaner or a cloth lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol, then thoroughly dry immediately to prevent rust.
Lubrication: Occasionally apply a small drop of machine oil to the pivot point to maintain smooth action and prevent rust, especially if the scissors are not stainless steel.
Dispose Safely: When scissors are no longer usable (beyond sharpening, broken, severely rusted), dispose of them safely. Wrap them securely in thick cardboard or tape, place them in a puncture-proof container (e.g., a sturdy plastic bottle or metal tin), and dispose of according to local waste disposal guidelines for sharps or metal. Do NOT place directly in general waste.
