Tool Maintenance
Keep the chisels sharp. It takes more force for a dull edge to remove supports
than a sharp edge. If any tools fall on the floor, review the sharp edge of the
tool for any damage. Always store the tools when not in use.
Warning: The chisels in the support removal toolkit are very
sharp. Always wear safety gloves and cut away from yourself.
