Ensure the cutting edge is clean and sharp. Check that you are striking the shank with sufficient force using an appropriate hammer or mallet. Verify the bolster is positioned correctly on the stone.

Discontinue use immediately. The edge may be damaged, posing a safety risk and reducing effectiveness. Inspect for major damage and consider professional re-sharpening or replacement if significantly compromised.
Setup: No specific setup is required. Ensure the bolster is held firmly by the shank, and the cutting edge is positioned on the stone where the cut is desired.
Compatibility: This tool is designed for use with a mason's hammer or a heavy mallet. It is compatible with various types of stone. It is not designed for use with power tools.
Care: After use, clean any stone dust or debris from the cutting edges and shank using a brush. Store in a dry place to prevent rust. Periodically inspect the cutting edge for any damage or dulling. If dulling occurs, the edges can be carefully re-sharpened by a professional or with appropriate grinding tools, ensuring the original bevel is maintained.
