HOW TO USE:

1. Safety First: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses or a face shield, work gloves, and suitable clothing, before beginning any work with a cold chisel.
2. Secure Your Workpiece: Place the metal workpiece on a stable and solid surface, such as an anvil or a heavy-duty workbench. Ensure it is firmly clamped or secured to prevent movement during striking.
3. Position the Chisel: Hold the Mayhew Cold Chisel firmly with one hand, positioning its cutting edge precisely where you intend to make the cut or shape the metal. Ensure the chisel is angled correctly for the desired cut.
4. Strike the Chisel: With your other hand, use a hammer (preferably a ball-peen or club hammer) to strike the striking end of the chisel. Apply controlled and consistent force.
5. Monitor Progress: After each strike, check the progress of your cut or shaping. Reposition the chisel as needed and continue striking until the desired result is achieved. For deeper cuts, you may need to make multiple passes.
6. Clean Up: Once finished, clear away any metal shavings or debris from your workpiece and work area. Store the chisel in a safe and dry place.
