How to use

Hold the wooden handle with both hands for controlled strikes when performing shaping or chopping operations. Position the workpiece securely on a stable surface or workbench before cutting. Use short, controlled swings for paring or trimming tasks and slightly firmer strikes for cutting small pieces of timber. Keep the blade sharp to maintain efficiency and reduce the need for excessive force. Inspect the haft and head connection periodically and tighten or re-seat the head if any looseness appears.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when using the axe. Store the tool in a dry place and treat the wooden handle with oil periodically to prevent drying and cracking. For blade protection during transport and storage, use a sheath or wrap the cutting edge. Do not use the axe on metal, stone or other materials for which it is not designed.
