Assembly Instructions for the Pick Axe, Cutter Mattock, and Pick Mattock
Your new pick or mattock has been adjusted in our shop to insure a good snug fit between
the metal head and the wooden handle.
This is accomplished by assembling the tool to find areas of interference between the head
and the handle. These areas are then ground or sanded off. This procedure is repeated until
the head and the handle fit together tightly.
All you have to do is re-assemble your tool so that the black dots line up!

REMINDER:
During use you must occasionally check to insure that the head is still tight. If
loose, repeat Steps 3 and 4 to tighten the head.
Disassembly:
To remove the tool head, hold the metal head with both hands and bang the thin
end of the handle down against a wooden board laid on a concrete surface until
the head moves far enough down the handle to separate. The wooden board
protects the end of the handle from damage.
