On those little narrow cuts, IMO, you're better off to stack scraps and do multiple cuts with a diamond saw. The shears are fine but they can leave a bit of a ragged edge.
But, most important, putting yourself in a situation where your fingers are vulnerable to the shears is a NOT good idea!
Cut from the back side and I think I'll take the roughness (not much in my experience) without all the dust.

Having done it a few times I agree with Wormdrive.
