Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for this tool. To ensure the 10-year guarantee is honored and the tool lasts for years, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: After every use, remove damp soil from the carbon steel head using a stiff brush or cloth.
- Drying: Never store the tool while it is wet; ensure the ash handle and head are fully dry to prevent the wood from swelling or the steel from developing surface rust.
- Storage: Hang the tool by the leather strap in a dry, ventilated area, such as a garden shed, keeping it off the ground to avoid moisture contact.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the handle for any loose fittings and wipe the head with a light oil if storing for extended periods during the winter.
