How to use

Remove the old handle from the axe head by driving out wedges and clearing debris from the eye. Shape and fit the new wooden handle into the axe head eye, ensuring the shoulder of the handle seats firmly and the head aligns correctly. Secure the head with appropriate wedges and trim any projecting material. Sand and finish the handle surface as required for a smooth grip and apply a protective coating such as linseed oil to preserve the wood. Check for secure fitting and correct alignment before first use.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when fitting the handle and during initial strikes. Regularly inspect the handle for cracks, looseness or wear and re-tighten or replace as necessary. Store the tool in a dry place and maintain the wooden surface with oil to extend service life.
