Step 1
Slightly tighten post screw.
Step 2
Hold snips open at 90 degrees. Allow the horizontal blade
to drop. The best adjustment will leave the tips open 1/8”
to 1/4” after drop. If opening is less than 1/8”, repeat steps
1 and 2.

Step 3
After drop test, turn snips over with post screw head facing
downward. Support snips on a wooden block. Peen the
tip of the post screw lightly to prevent screw backing out.
Hold snips in one hand and brace front tip of blade rmly
on table or bench top. Using a Mill Bastard File, le on
forward stroke 4-5 times, maintaining original surface
angle (30 degrees). File
only the non-serrated blade.

with a hammer. Repeat this procedure on opposite
shank if necessary. Continue this procedure until
proper alignment is achieved.
The use of a mechanical grinder is not recommended.
