3.7 kg Bursting Maul with mis-hit guard Réf. : 230396
USE
Weight = 3.7 kg: very effective for splitting longer logs.
PRODUCT BENEFITS
Wide blade: ideal for splitting logs and cutting off side branches.
"Hooked nose" for moving or lifting branches.
Wide, rounded striking surface:
- facilitates the knocking in of wedges.
- delays the formation of burrs.
- lessens the risk of flying chips.
New head geometry (side bosses):
- helps log splitting.
- avoids the blade sticking in dense wood.
- reinforces the socket.
Forged carbon steel, heat treated, 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.
Rubber mis-hit guard: Protects the handle and lessens jarring from mis-hits.
GUIDELINES FOR USE
Never split wood directly on the ground but use a log, so that the tool blade is not damaged by striking the ground.
SAFETY ADVICE
Wear glasses, gloves and protective clothing.
The main risk from these tools is posed by flying chips, either from the tool itself or the object being struck. Chips may be due to a defect in the metal, simple aging of the tool or incorrect use.

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 are struck together. 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 was created by Leborgne for these percussion tools.
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.
