How to use

Position the spade blade at the intended digging line, step onto the top edge of the blade with your foot to drive it into the ground, then use the handle as a lever to lift and turn soil.

Usage recommendations

Before use, inspect the wooden handle and blade socket for cracks or looseness; tighten or repair connections as needed. Clean soil from the metal blade after each use and apply a light coating of oil to prevent rust. Store the spade in a dry place, and replace the handle if splintering or severe wear occurs to retain safe operation.
