Work Sharp WS2000 Tool Sharpener & Grinder Step By Step Guide - Manual (Page 5)

Method:
• Place the coarse grit solid abrasive
face up on your tool, flatten the back
of your chisel so you have a smooth,
consistent finish. This step is critical
and should not be overlooked.
• Now place the coarse grit solid
abrasive face down on your tool and
plunge and pull your chisel in the
sharpening port. This process may
take some time (3–10 minutes) based
on the degree of damage on the
edge of your tool. Do not plunge the
chisel against the wheel for longer
than one-second intervals or use
excessive load or force. This will only
create unnecessary heat and a large
burr. Follow the light handed ‘plunge
pull’ method for fastest, coolest and
sharpest results.
• Once the bevel and cutting edge
have been re-established and no
longer show signs of damage,
sharpen the back and bevel with
the fine grit solid abrasive following
the same steps as outlined above.
This step should only take about a
minute.
