How to use

Select a shaft end that matches the tool head socket, trim the length if necessary using appropriate saws, and sand mating surfaces to ensure a tight fit.

Check alignment and balance before use and perform regular inspections for wear, cracks or loosening.

Usage recommendations

For safe and long-lasting performance, store the wooden shaft in a dry place away from prolonged moisture exposure. Apply a protective finish such as linseed oil or exterior-grade varnish if used outdoors frequently. Replace the shaft if deep cracks, severe wear, or structural weakness are detected.
