HOW TO USE:

1. Select the Right Chisel: Choose the chisel with a cutting edge width appropriate for the task at hand. For larger cuts, you may start with a wider chisel and finish with a narrower one.
2. Secure Your Workpiece: Always place the metal you are working on a stable and sturdy surface, such as an anvil or a heavy workbench. If possible, clamp the workpiece securely to prevent it from moving during the operation.
3. Position the Chisel: Hold the chisel firmly at the desired angle for cutting or shaping. The angle will depend on the type of cut you intend to make (e.g., steeper for deeper cuts, shallower for trimming).
4. Strike the Chisel: Use a striking tool, typically a ball peen hammer, to strike the head of the chisel. Apply consistent force, striking squarely on the chisel's head to drive the cutting edge into the metal.
5. Monitor Your Progress: Continuously observe the cut. For longer cuts, you may need to move the chisel along the line, overlapping previous strikes slightly.
6. Clean Up: After the cut is complete, remove any burrs or sharp edges with a file or grinder for a smooth finish.
