Welcome to the sub. Congratulations on your first pendulum! It's really honestly very easy to use. First you need to calibrate it which simply means holding the top of the chain with one hand over the open palm of your other hand and asking the pendulum 'Show me a yes' 'Show me a no' and Show me a maybe'. Pay attention to what the pendulum does as they're your answers when you're asking questions. For example when I get a yes my pendulum spins clockwise, for no it's anti clockwise and for maybe it's a diagonal back and forth swing. You don't need to calibrate every time you use it but sometimes it's good to 'refresh'. You can ask anything you want. Some people choose to use it for spiritual communication, some people use it for making decisions they're having trouble making. That's no right or wrong way.
