â?¢ Always select the correct type, shape and size of punch or chisel for the application. Not only will it increase your work efficiency but it will also help maintain its useful life.

â?¢ Always ensure the working end is pointed away from yourself and others.

â?¢ Do not use a chisel that has a dull cutting edge and never use a grinder on punch or chisel as it might alter the hardness of the material and cause tool failure. Instead, restore the cutting edge using a hand file or whetstone to its original shape and angle.
