Makita 751622-A 5-1/2 x 20 Clay Spade, 1-1/8 Hex

Using the Makita 751622-A clay spade is easy. First, make sure your demolition or breaker hammer is compatible with the 1 - 1/8' hex design. Attach the spade securely to the hammer. When using it, start with a slow speed in tough materials like clay or shale, and gradually increase the speed as the spade penetrates. For loose concrete or dirt, you can start at a normal working speed. As for safety, always wear appropriate safety gear such as goggles and gloves. Never use the spade if it's damaged. For maintenance, after each use, clean the spade to remove dirt and debris. The clear - coat helps prevent corrosion, but if you notice any signs of rust, gently sand the area and apply a light coat of oil. Store the spade in a dry place to keep it in good condition.
