Using these Milwaukee chisels is easy. First, make sure your SDS - Plus rotary hammer is turned off and unplugged. Insert the chisel into the hammer's chuck until it locks in place. When starting a hole, use the bull - point chisel. Just place it on the spot where you want to start and turn on the hammer. For general chipping and breaking of concrete, either the bull - point or flat chisel can be used. Hold the hammer firmly and let the chisel do the work. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the chisel clean with a dry cloth. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust. You don't need to re - sharpen or re - harden these chisels, but if you notice any signs of extreme wear or damage, it's time to replace them. Always follow the safety instructions of your rotary hammer when using these chisels.
