How to use

Inspect the axe head and handle before use to ensure secure attachment and no visible damage. Place the log on a stable chopping block and position the axe over the intended split line. Use a controlled overhead swing, allowing the weight of the 1.5 kg head to drive the blade into the wood; follow through to complete the split. For larger pieces, split progressively by creating smaller sections rather than forcing a single heavy cut. After use, wipe the head clean and store the axe in a dry place to limit corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protection such as safety glasses, gloves and sturdy footwear. Keep a safe distance from bystanders and maintain a clear working area. Regularly check and, if necessary, sharpen the axe blade with suitable files or stones to preserve efficient splitting performance.
