Safety tips

Paradoxically, using a tool that cuts badly is dangerous because it requires twice as much energy and quickly tires you out. Learning how to sharpen a tool and doing it regularly is essential. These tools require a calm manner and common sense. Position oneself so that if the blade slips or bounces, it does not end up hitting you. Do not strike an axe or hatchet with a hammer or mallet as there is a risk of metal splintering and tool breakage. Wear goggles, gloves, and protective clothing.
