Safety First: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses or a face shield, and work gloves, to protect against flying debris and impacts.
Secure Workpiece: Ensure the metal workpiece is securely clamped in a vise or on a stable surface to prevent movement during cutting.
Position the Chisel: Place the cutting edge of the chisel firmly against the metal surface where you intend to make a cut or shape. Hold the chisel at an angle appropriate for the desired cut, typically between 30 and 45 degrees relative to the workpiece.
Strike with Mallet/Hammer: Using a ball-peen hammer or appropriate striking tool, strike the top (striking end) of the chisel with controlled force. The weight of the hammer should be suitable for the task at hand.
Monitor Progress: Observe the cut as you strike the chisel. For longer cuts, you may need to reposition the chisel and repeat the striking process along the intended line.
Clean Up: After cutting, carefully remove any detached metal pieces. Inspect the chisel's cutting edge for any wear or damage, sharpening if necessary before subsequent use.
