How to use

Hold the axe with a firm two-handed grip, placing one hand near the base of the handle and the other closer to the head for controlled strikes. Position the workpiece on stable, level ground or a chopping block. Raise the axe to a comfortable height and swing with a smooth, controlled motion, aiming for the target area of the wood. For splitting, strike the edge of the log near a natural crack or along the grain. Maintain awareness of surroundings and ensure bystanders are at a safe distance.

Usage recommendations

Before each use inspect the head-to-handle connection and the sharpness of the cutting edge. Keep the blade sharp for efficient chopping and reduce the risk of glancing blows. Store the axe in a dry place and protect the head with a sheath when not in use. Use appropriate personal protective equipment: safety glasses, gloves and sturdy footwear when operating the axe.
