5.2. Prying and Lifting

For prying or lifting objects, use the angled chisel end:

1. Position the angled chisel end under the object you wish to pry or lift.
2. Apply steady, controlled downward pressure on the opposite end of the bar to generate upward force on the object.
3. Ensure your grip is firm and your stance is stable to prevent slippage.

• Position the chisel end against the material to be chiseled.
• Apply force by pushing or striking the opposite end with a suitable hammer (ensure the hammer is appropriate for striking hardened steel and wear additional eye protection).
• Exercise caution to prevent material from splintering or flying.
