How to use

Measure the mounting interface on the tool head and compare it to the adapter's ferrule or tapered end to ensure compatibility. Fit the tool head onto the shaft according to the tool manufacturer's instructions, using wedges or securing hardware where required to lock the head in place. For assembly, insert the tool head onto the tapered end, drive in a wooden or metal wedge if applicable, and check that the head sits securely before use. Inspect the connection periodically and re-tighten or replace wedges as needed.

Usage recommendations

Store the shaft in a dry environment away from prolonged moisture to prevent swelling or warping. Sand and oil the surface periodically to maintain grip and extend service life. Replace the shaft if cracks, significant wear, or loosening occur that could compromise safety during use.
