and grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into a matching outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock.
The conductor with insulation having
an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair
or replacement of the electric cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal. Check with a qualified
electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded.
Repair or replace damaged or worn
cord immediately.

• For Edge-Vision™ Sharpening: Use
the fine slotted abrasive.
About WORK SHARP™
Abrasive Technology
Finish
• Coated abrasive disks start flat and
stay flat. (Bonded abrasives used in
stones and most power systems require frequent dressing to keep the
wheel flat.)
• The grit size is engineered to provide
optimal sharpness and surface finish
at each stage of sharpening. (Users
who are interested in a “utility sharp”
edge will find exceptional edge performance on the faster coarse grits.)

X X
Speed
• The abrasive selection is integrated
with design of the WORK SHARP™
drive train and cooling system to provide the fastest material removal rate
while minimizing the risk of overheating tool steels.
• The sharpening port includes a dia-
mond lapping abrasive that provides
superior burr control and allows for
1-step re-sharpening.
Simplicity
• Accepts readily available standard
150 mm or 6" adhesive–backed abrasives with trimming. (No custom abrasives or expensive custom wheels
required. Coarse grits are available at
most hardware/woodworking stores.
Fine grits are readily available at any
automotive paint supply store.)
• Slotted abrasives are available through
a Work Sharp retail outlet or direct
from Work Sharp.

• Choose Coarse Grit for damaged or
chipped tools
• Choose Fine Grit for re-sharpening tools
• Chisels under ½" wide should be sharp-
ened on the left side of the sharpening
port.
• Chisels wider than ½" should be sharp-
ened on the right side of the sharpening
port.
• Leave fence loose enough against chis-
el so the chisel can slide between the
fence and guide rail.
• “Plunge and pull” method in sharpen-
ing port will yield best results. Contact
wheel for only ½–1 second.
• Do not leave chisel against abrasive
wheel for longer than 1 second, or you
may risk overheating your tools.
• Keeping chisels flat on the sharpening
port diamond lapping plate will ensure
burr removal, optimum heat control and
proper bevel edge sharpening.
Edge-VisionTM Underside
Sharpening Port Tips
When using the Edge-VisionTM
slotted wheel
• Use a permanent marker to color the
edge of your tool to be sharpened. This
will help you better see the edge you are
sharpening.
• Shine a shop light or drop light onto the
top of the unit to better see through the
slotted wheel.
• Sharpen tools with the cutting edge
at the 12:00 or 2:00 position, and not
10:00. This will ensure you are sharpening your tools edge with the wheel spinning away from you for optimum safety
and control.

• Use the coarse abrasive surface for ag-
gressive grinding, or use the fine grit
abrasive surface for light grinding.
• Always place the blade face onto the
right side of grinding wheel so that the
wheel spins away from you.
• Raise tool or handle to create or re-
sharpen a beveled edge if desired.
• The top tool rest can be used to assist in
the sharpening process if desired.

• Axes and hatchets are best sharpened
using the top tool rest and a sweeping
motion to grind the bevel. With the
power switch in the “off” position, lay
the bevel onto the wheel and find the
proper grind angle. Then turn on your
machine and grind the corresponding
bevel onto each side of the axe or
hatchet.
• The height adjustability of the top tool
rest can assist in more precise bevel
grinding of your tools. Adjust the top
tool rest and blade projection to achieve
more precise bevel grinding of tools.

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 performance available. We have included premium 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
7
For best results, use the WORK SHARP™
replacement abrasives kits. WORK
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 adhesive, then place the grinding wheel onto
the paper and trim to fit.
Contact the store or dealer where you purchased WORK SHARP™ The Tool Sharpener, or contact WORK SHARP™ directly
at www.worksharptools.com, to purchase
replacement abrasive kits.
Care and Maintenance
6
After sharpening only a few tools, sharpening debris will accumulate on your
workbench and also under the grinding
wheel. Sharpening debris may promote
premature wear in the WS2000 unit and
can potentially pose a fire risk. Cleaning
the unit on a consistent basis can add
life to your machine and increase safety.
Before any maintenance or cleaning is
performed, be sure to unplug your WORK
SHARP™ WS2000.
Cleaning your WORK
SHARP™ WS2000
With the WORK SHARP™ WS2000 unplugged, remove the grinding wheel to
expose the top of the unit and sharpening
port. Brush away the accumulated sharpening debris from the wheel and sharpening port area. Remove sharpening debris
with a small, dry brush. Dispose of the
sharpening debris in a safe and environmentally approved manner.
Problem
Not sharpening entire Chisel bevel face
Solutions
• The bevel angle previously sharpened
onto tool is not 25°. Continue sharpening.
• 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.
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.
