How to use

Hold the axe with both hands on the wooden handle, placing the dominant hand near the head for control and the other hand toward the end for leverage. Use a controlled backswing and follow-through, aiming the blade at the targeted wood while keeping a stable stance. For splitting, strike near the edge of the log and let the weight of the head do the work; for chopping branches, use shorter, more controlled strikes. Inspect the handle and head connection before each use and keep the blade sharp for efficient cutting.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Store the axe in a dry place and treat the wooden handle periodically with a suitable oil to maintain its condition. Do not use the tool on metal, concrete or other inappropriate materials to avoid chipping the cutting edge.
