How to use

Position the log on a stable chopping block and adopt a secure stance with feet shoulder-width apart. Grip the handle with both hands and raise the maul to a comfortable height, keeping the body aligned for a controlled swing. Aim the 1.2 kg head at the grain or knot lines where the wood will split most readily. Use steady, measured strikes rather than excessive force; repeat as needed until the log splits. Inspect the handle and head connection before each use and wear appropriate protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the splitting maul on dry or properly seasoned wood and avoid striking metal, rock or frozen ground. Store the tool in a dry place and check the handle for signs of wear or damage periodically. If vibration or looseness increases, discontinue use until the tool is serviced or replaced.
