Question 1

How do you use the Fiskars F9600 scissors sharpener?

Accepted Answer

Place on a flat surface and hold steady. Insert the scissor blades into the slot with the opening facing upward and work the scissors forward and backwards three or four times. Wipe the blades to remove metal dust. Repeat if needed for very blunt scissors.

Question 2

What scissors is the Fiskars F9600 suitable for?

Accepted Answer

Standard right-handed scissors including dressmaking scissors, fabric scissors, craft scissors, kitchen scissors, and general purpose scissors. It is not suitable for pinking shears, serrated scissors, curved scissors, or left-handed scissors.

Question 3

How often should scissors be sharpened?

Accepted Answer

As soon as any dragging, catching, or reduction in cutting quality is noticed. Regular light sharpening maintains the edge more effectively than waiting until scissors are very blunt — a few passes every few weeks with regular use will keep scissors in excellent condition indefinitely.

Question 4

Is the Fiskars F9600 easy to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the ceramic grinding heads automatically adjust to the correct angle for the scissors being sharpened, so no skill or manual angle-setting is required. Simply insert and work the scissors forward and backwards a few times.
