Troubleshooting

Guard feels loose after initial attachment.

Re-tie the leather cords more securely. Ensure a firm knot is used. If the cords are still not holding, consider replacing them with similar strong leather lacing.

Leather seems stiff or dry.

Apply a small amount of natural leather conditioner. Rub it in gently and allow it to absorb. Avoid over-conditioning, as it can make the leather too soft.

Guard does not fit desired axe model.

Verify that your axe model is listed under the compatibility section. This guard is specifically sized for Hultafors Premium Axes listed.
