How to use

Grip the chisel securely near the handle or bolster to maintain control and align the cutting edge with the workpiece at the required angle. For paring and trimming, push the chisel forward with steady hand pressure; for cutting or removal, strike the chisel gently with a suitable hammer or mallet, keeping blows controlled to avoid overcutting. Work from coarse to fine: remove larger amounts first, then refine the surface and edges with lighter passes. Keep the chisel stable and supported to prevent slipping and ensure consistent cuts.

Usage recommendations

Maintain the cutting edge by regular sharpening on appropriate stones or abrasives and protect the blade from corrosion by keeping it clean and lightly oiled. Use protective eyewear and gloves as needed, and select the correct striking tool for light hammering to avoid damaging the chisel or the workpiece.
