Troubleshooting

Blade is not cutting effectively.

Sharpen the blade using a file or sharpening stone. Ensure the cutting edge is sharp and free of damage.

Handle feels loose or wobbly.

Check the connection between the handle and the head. Tighten any bolts or screws if present. If the handle is severely loose, consider replacing it.

Rust appearing on the blade.

Remove rust with a wire brush or steel wool. Apply a rust-preventative coating to the blade after cleaning.
