HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare Your Workpiece: Secure the metal you intend to cut or shape firmly in a vise or with clamps to prevent movement during the process. Ensure the area is clear of obstructions.
2. Position the Chisel: Place the cutting edge of the Mayhew cold chisel against the metal surface at the desired point of cut or shaping. Hold the chisel firmly with one hand, ensuring your fingers are clear of the striking end.
3. Strike the Chisel: Using a hammer (preferably a ball-peen or club hammer of appropriate weight), strike the top of the chisel's head with firm, controlled blows. The force of the hammer will drive the chisel's sharp edge into or through the metal.
4. Angle and Reposition (if necessary): For longer cuts or intricate shaping, you may need to reposition the chisel and adjust the angle of attack. For severing material, consistent strikes along the intended line are effective.
5. Safety First: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses or a face shield, work gloves, and steel-toed boots, when using a cold chisel. Ensure the chisel's head is not mushroomed; if it is, grind it down to prevent chipping.
