Align the file tang with the handle socket and drive the handle onto the tang using a controlled tapping motion against a solid surface, or thread on per the screw-on design. Always ensure the ferrule is fully seated before applying filing pressure. Remove the file from the handle before storage to avoid cracking the wood over time.
