Maintain a safe distance from bystanders and work on a stable, non-slip surface. After use, clean the head of sap and debris, dry it, and store the axe in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the cutting edge for nicks and sharpen as needed to maintain cutting efficiency. Treat and protect the handle according to the handle material (oil wooden handles periodically; check composite or fiberglass handles for damage). Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when chopping or splitting. Do not use the axe on metal, stone or other materials for which it is not designed.
