Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These axes require no assembly. They are ready for use out of the box. Always inspect the axe head and handle for any damage before each use. Ensure the head is securely fastened to the handle.
Compatibility:
The axes are designed for splitting wood of various sizes. Compatibility is primarily with the type and dryness of the wood being split.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the axe head clean of any wood sap or debris. A slightly damp cloth can be used if necessary, followed by drying.
- Sharpening: The blades are drop-forged and hardened. For optimal performance, periodically sharpen the blades using a metal file or grinding stone. Always maintain the correct angle for an effective edge.
- Storage: Store the axes in a dry place to prevent rust on the head. Use blade covers (if available) or store them safely where they will not be a hazard. Keep out of reach of children.
- Handle Care: The fiberglass handles require minimal maintenance. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid exposing the handles to extreme temperatures or corrosive chemicals.
