Batipro Sécuri-T Novagrip Sledge Hammer Réf. : 125464
USE
The sledge hammer is used for knocking in wedges during woodcutting work to split stumps, large diameter logs and logs with knots.
PRODUCT BENEFITS
Safety:
Rounded edges on the striking surface: delays burring and lessens the risk of chipping.
Rubber mis-hit guard: Protects the handle and lessens jarring from mis-hits.
Flat side faces: reduces the risk of splitting wooden posts.
Forged carbon steel, hardened and tempered.
Composite Novagrip handle:
- Fibreglass core: greater resistance to mis-hits
- Elastomeric anti-slip and anti-vibration handle: comfortable to hold.
- Pierced handle for hanging the tool.
- Flush socket handle fitting: protects the end of the handle.
SAFETY ADVICE
Wear glasses, gloves and protective clothing.
The main risk posed by these tools is from flying chips either from the tool itself or the object being struck. Chips can be due to a metallurgical defect, simple aging or incorrect use.
The striking surfaces of sledge hammers and mauls undergo heat treatment which gives them high resistance to impacts, but it is absolutely forbidden to knock two striking surfaces together, one against the other: the risk of chips is real and serious. You must therefore never hit a maul directly with a sledge hammer.

MAINTENANCE ADVICE
For sledge hammers and mauls, the appearance of a burr can result from two different things:
- if the burr is produced quickly and cracks appear after an hour of use, there could be a defect in the metal or in the tool's heat treatment. You should stop using the tool and request a replacement under warranty from your supplier.
- on the other hand if a light burr without cracks appears after intensive use, this is just normal aging which appears when two metal surfaces strike against each other. It is sufficient simply to refresh the surface, remake the chamfer and round the edges with a file or grinder.
When grinding, it is essential to avoid overheating the ground surface, as this will destroy the hardness obtained by the original heat treatment.

The first Nova fibreglass handle for percussion tools was created by Leborgne.
For greater safety and comfort, the Novagrip tri-material handle is protected by a rubber mis-hit guard which gives it increased strength and reduces jarring from mis-hits.
