Inappropriate use may result in physical injuries or damage to property. Never leave shears open. Store safely and keep out of reach of children. Do not cut live cables or any wire. When the leather handles get dirty, wipe them gently with a soft damp cloth. Occasionally, a little leather wax worked into the leather will keep the leather happy. Even though Chop Chop Bloom shears love being outdoors, they don’t like being left out in the rain.
