HOW TO USE:

1. Safety First: Always wear appropriate safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes from flying metal fragments. Consider gloves for hand protection.
2. Secure the Workpiece: Place the metal workpiece securely in a vice or clamp it firmly to a stable surface to prevent movement during use.
3. Position the Chisel: Hold the cold chisel firmly with one hand at the desired cutting or shaping point on the metal. Ensure the blade angle is appropriate for the task (e.g., a steeper angle for cutting, a shallower angle for shaving).
4. Strike with a Hammer: Using a hammer of suitable weight, strike the blunt end of the chisel with controlled, firm blows. The force of the hammer will drive the sharp blade into or through the metal.
5. Monitor Progress: Observe the cut or shape as you proceed, adjusting your angle or striking force as needed to achieve the desired result. For longer cuts, you may need to reposition the chisel and continue striking.
6. Clean Up: Once the cutting or shaping is complete, remove any burrs or sharp edges from the metal workpiece. Clean the chisel and store it in a dry place.
