Using the Salewa Razor SL Snow Shovel is straightforward. First, extend the telescopic shaft to its maximum length of 90 cm for better reach. Hold the D - grip firmly with one hand and place your other hand on the sanded - print grip zone for extra control. When shoveling snow, use a forward and downward motion to drive the sharp blade into the snow. This will make it easier to break through even the hardest avalanche snow. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the shovel with a damp cloth to remove any snow or debris. Store it in a dry place to prevent the aluminum from rusting. Avoid hitting the blade against hard objects like rocks, as this could damage the sharp edge. With proper use and care, this shovel will serve you well in avalanche rescue situations.
