HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the Workpiece: Secure the metal workpiece firmly in a vise or clamp to prevent movement during cutting. Ensure the area around the cut is clear.
2. Position the Chisel: Place the cutting edge of the chisel directly onto the line or point on the metal where you intend to cut or mark. Ensure the bevel of the blade is facing away from the material you wish to retain.
3. Strike with a Hammer: Using a hammer of appropriate weight, strike the blunt (non-cutting) end of the chisel. Apply consistent force to drive the blade into the metal. For deeper cuts, multiple strikes may be necessary.
4. Angle and Reposition (if needed): For long cuts or to remove larger sections, slightly reposition the chisel along the cutting line and repeat the striking process. You may need to adjust the angle of the chisel to achieve the desired cut or shape.
5. Clean Up: Once the cut is complete or the material is removed, clear any metal shavings or debris from the workpiece and work area.
