For high-quality sharpening,A professional tool is a machine with a diamond circle. It can be purchased at a construction store or rented. Note that the processing tool when it is necessary to conduct intensive operation every three to six months.
2
Collect scissors, tweezers and nippersin sharpening. Fragile scissors and clippers-clamps before processing are best developed. If the blades of the forceps diverge sufficiently widely, they can be sharpened in unshaped form.
3
Turn the machine to minimum speed. Take one part of the scissors and sweep the edge of the blade along the running circle from beginning to end. Repeat the motion again. Wipe the blade with a dense, lint-free cloth. Process the second part of the scissors. Collect them by fastening the halves with a screw and twisting it. Check the sharpness of the tool on a thin fabric or polyethylene - sharpened scissors should not crumple the material.
4
Manicure forceps open to maximum widthand quickly move the edge of the blade along the running diamond circle. Repeat reception twice for each blade. Remove the dust from the forceps with a dense cloth.
5
If at hand there is no diamond circle, and tweezersneed urgent sharpening, treat them with sandpaper. Take a sheet of emery and cut it with forceps several times. Check the sharpness of the blades on a piece of cloth or polyethylene. If the forceps are not sharp enough, repeat the procedure. Such sharpening can be considered a temporary measure, as it will last only a few days.

Nippers or tweezers can be sharpened on a barfor finishing kitchen knives. Open the tool and quickly, but gently, drive the edge of the blade along the bar. Check the degree of sharpening on a piece of polyethylene. Such debugging can be repeated once a week.
Tip 2: How to sharpen cutting pliers
Electrotechnical cutters greatly facilitatework of the fitter. When stripping the wires, they are much less traumatic than a knife. To use this tool it was convenient, it must be regularly sharpened.
Instructions
1
In order to determine whetherre-sharpen the cutting pliers, inspect the surfaces of their cutting edges. If there are well-marked depressions on them, it is time to sharpen the tool. Do this operation not too rarely, but not too often, because in the first case you will have to use a blunt instrument, and in the second case, the metal stock on the blades will quickly run out.
2
To sharpen the cutters, use a grindstone withrotating circle. The less power it has, the better. It can be equipped with either a hand or foot, and an electric drive. Never work anything on the end of the circle - it can fly apart. Due to the peculiarities of its construction, the circle is completely excluded from it. Using a tool that is not equipped even with the simplest drive, for example, bars, is impractical, since such sharpening will take a long time. Also remember that any tool made not of abrasive material, but of metal, will not sharpen, but only dull the cutting pliers.
3
Cut the wire cutters and lift them to the circle of the rearside (where the surface is concave). Gently pressing the tool against the rotating circle, turn it to a small angle to evenly pierce the entire gap between the blades. Distinguish the treated area from the untreated can be by gloss.
4
To ensure that the cutters do not require frequentwhen handling them, observe a simple rule. Do not use a tool to cut any steel products, including staples. An exception can be made for wires in steel insulation - they can be cut and cleaned with wire cutters so that you do not have to resort to using a traumatic knife, but then you have to accept the need for frequent re-sharpening. In general, use them to work only with copper and aluminum wires.
