Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required; the hammer is ready to use straight out of the box. To maintain the integrity of your Facom 202H, store the tool in a dry, climate-controlled environment to prevent the hickory wood from swelling or shrinking. Before every use, inspect the area where the head meets the handle to ensure the steel wedge is tight and there are no signs of wood cracking. If the handle becomes splintered, it should be sanded down and treated with a light coating of boiled linseed oil to maintain the wood fibers. Avoid using the hammer as a pry bar, as this can place lateral stress on the handle that it was not designed to withstand.
