HOW TO USE:

• Safety First: Always wear appropriate safety gear, including safety glasses and gloves, when using a mason chisel. Consider a dust mask if creating a lot of airborne particles.
• Prepare Your Material: Position the brick, stone, or concrete on a stable, flat surface. Ensure it is secure and will not shift during use.
• Mark Your Line: If making a precise cut or score, use a pencil or chalk line to clearly mark where you want to cut on the masonry material.
• Position the Chisel: Place the cutting edge of the Mayhew mason chisel firmly against the marked line on the material. Ensure the chisel is at the correct angle for the desired cut. For scoring, hold it at a slight angle.
• Strike the Chisel: Use a mallet or hammer to strike the striking end of the chisel. Begin with lighter taps to establish the cut, then increase force as needed. For scoring, make several passes along the line with moderate force.
• Maintain Angle and Position: Keep the chisel's cutting edge aligned with your marked line and maintain a consistent angle throughout the process.
• Clear Debris: Periodically clear away any debris or dust to maintain visibility of your work area and marked lines.
