Installation Notes

Handle installation is typically performed by the end user or a qualified tradesperson using a hammer, wedges, and a handle file or rasp for fitting. Remove the old handle and any remaining wood from the eye before seating the new handle. Drive steel or wood wedges into the kerf at the top of the handle to secure the head firmly before use. Inspect the fit and wedge tightness before returning the tool to service.
