Default Abusing an anvil

Ok, we all know or have a pretty good idea WHAT an abused anvil looks like, but I wanted to ask, what exactly is considered abusing an anvil? I mean I know there is the obvious ones, no hitting on it with a big hammer without hot steel inbetween, no sledging on the tip of the heel or horn, and stuff liek that. But whjat actually causes saddling, and chipping, and horn and heel breaks?
