How to use

Grip the wooden handle with both hands, positioning the dominant hand near the head for control and the other hand near the butt for power when swinging. Use controlled, steady swings aimed at the intended cutting line; for splitting, strike the end grain with the axe edge centered on the log. Maintain a safe stance with feet clear of the swing path and keep bystanders at a safe distance. After use, secure the axe head and store the tool in a dry location to protect the wooden handle and the metal head.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the handle for cracks or loosening where the head mounts, and re-tighten or replace the handle if necessary. Keep the cutting edge sharp and free of nicks; a sharp edge reduces required force and improves safety. Apply a light protective finish to the wooden handle periodically to prevent drying and splitting. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when chopping or splitting wood.
