• Splitting firewood for domestic heating

Key specifications

• Head weight: 1250 g
• Head shape: wedge-type steel splitting head
• Handle material: wood (timber handle)
• Intended use: manual splitting of firewood and logs
• Grip: ergonomically shaped wooden grip with vibration damping properties

How to use

Hold the wooden handle with both hands for controlled, safe strikes when splitting medium or larger logs; single-handed use is possible for lighter tasks or small pieces. Position the log on a stable chopping block, align the wedge-shaped head above the intended split line, and swing the axe with steady acceleration so the head penetrates and then transfers force to split the wood. For stubborn or knotty wood, strike the same line repeatedly or use a controlled follow-through to avoid glancing blows. Inspect the head seating on the handle before each use and ensure the handle is dry and free of damage.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves and sturdy footwear. Store the axe in a dry place and treat the wooden handle periodically with oil to prevent drying and cracking. Keep the head sharp and free of rust; re-sharpen using appropriate tools and techniques. Do not use the axe on metal, stone or other unsuitable materials to avoid damaging the cutting edge.
