HOW TO USE:

1. Safety First: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses or a face shield, heavy-duty gloves, and steel-toed boots, before beginning any work with the chisel.
2. Identify Your Mark: Clearly mark the line or area on the masonry material where you intend to cut, score, or remove material.
3. Position the Chisel: Place the chisel’s cutting edge firmly against the marked line or desired point on the material. Ensure the handguard is positioned to protect your holding hand.
4. Strike with a Hammer: Using a hammer or sledgehammer of appropriate weight, strike the head of the chisel with controlled, firm blows. The integrated handguard will absorb the impact and help prevent injury from mis-strikes.
5. Monitor Progress: Continuously observe the material as you strike, adjusting the chisel’s angle and position as needed to achieve the desired cut or break. For deeper cuts, you may need to repeat the striking process along the line.
