How to use

Position the spade with the flat edge against the soil where you want to dig or define an edge. Apply steady body weight onto the spade foot or press down with hands while keeping a straight back to leverage the shaped steel handle. For planting, dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball and loosen surrounding soil. For edging or trenching, use controlled, even strokes to create a clean line. After use, remove excess soil from the blade and store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate gloves and sturdy footwear during use. Inspect the handle and head connection periodically and tighten or repair any loose fittings. Use the spade within its intended load limits—avoid levering large rocks or prying heavy objects to prevent damage.
