HOW TO USE:
- Safety First: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses or a face shield, and gloves, before beginning any work with a cold chisel.
- Secure Your Workpiece: Place the metal you intend to cut or shape on a stable, flat surface, such as an anvil or a sturdy workbench. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped or held to prevent movement during striking.
- Position the Chisel: Place the cutting edge of the Mayhew 70201 chisel against the line or area of the metal you wish to cut or shape. Hold the chisel firmly with one hand at an angle appropriate for the desired cut.
- Strike with a Hammer: Using a hammer of appropriate weight (a ball-peen hammer is commonly used), strike the head of the chisel with controlled, firm blows. The force of the hammer will drive the chisel's cutting edge into the metal.
- Monitor Progress: Observe the cut as you go. For longer cuts, you may need to reposition the chisel and strike multiple times along the line. For shaping, adjust the angle and force to remove material as needed.
- Clean Up: After completing your task, clean any metal shavings or debris from your workspace. Properly store the chisel in a dry place to prevent rust.
