Important Safety Tip
DURING CLEAN UP, BE SURE
GRIT IS NOT HOT OR GLOW-
ING, AS IT MAY START A
FIRE!
Determining if replacing the
abrasive is required
The provided selection of abrasives with
the WORK SHARP™ WS2000 is designed
to give you the best sharpening perfor-
mance available. We have included pre-
mium abrasives that will provide you with
long-lasting results. However, the abrasive
will wear out eventually. It may need to be
changed if:
•
When sharpening a tool, it takes notice-
ably longer to achieve sharp results
•
Abrasive is 'loading up' and is not able
to be cleaned
•
There is a tear, wrinkle, or hole in the
abrasive
•
There is a bubble or lump under the
abrasive

Troubleshooting
Problem
Not sharpening entire Chisel bevel face
Solutions
•
The bevel angle previously sharpened
onto tool is not 25°. Continue sharpen-
ing.
•
Sharpening not complete yet. Use coarse
grit for fast material removal.
•
Tool being sharpened is not completely
flat on the heat sink during sharpening.
•
Sharpening port fence is not snug
against tool, which allows tool to skew
in port.
For best results, use the WORK SHARP™
replacement
abrasives
SHARP™ recommends the type of abra-
sives we provide because they create a
finish superior to oil and water stones—
without the mess.
However, if you choose, you can also use
any standard 6" adhesive backed abrasive
available at your local hardware store or
tool distributor. Trimming of standard 6"
abrasives will be required to fit the 150mm
grinding wheels. Or, you can also use a
standard 8" × 11" sheet of your preferred
sandpaper, and cut it to size. First spray
the abrasive backing with a spray tack ad-
hesive, then place the grinding wheel onto
the paper and trim to fit.
Contact the store or dealer where you pur-
chased WORK SHARP™ The Tool Sharp-
ener, or contact WORK SHARP™ directly
at www.worksharptools.com, to purchase
replacement abrasive kits.
Problem
Excessive heat build-up
Solutions
•
Plunging tool against abrasive disk too
long.
•
Applying too much load pressure against
abrasive disk during sharpening.
•
Abrasive needs to be cleaned or re-
placed.
•
Smaller tools should be sharpened on
the left side of port using light pressure
and less sharpening time. Use slotted
media with smaller tools.
