Assembling

Your Tool

1. Carefully remove the tool and the accessories kit from the box.

2. Refer to Component Checklist (page 6) to ensure that you have

received all the components, including Abrasives.

3. Remove all packing materials and store in case you ever need to

return the unit for servicing.

4. Visually inspect your tool for potential damage incurred during

shipment. If there is damage, call 800-597-6170 to speak to a Cus-

tomer Service Representative.

5. Apply PSA Abrasive. A clean work environment is critical during

the adhesion of the PSA Abrasive. Unpack and clean the tempered

Glass Wheels with isopropyl alcohol, paint thinner or acetone to en-

sure a clean surface to adhere the PSA Abrasives. Mineral spirits is

not recommended since it leaves an oily residue.

The 2 tempered glass wheels provided are intended to have a dif

ferent abrasive grit on each surface. This allows you to have a coarse

grinding wheel for shaping and sharpening and a ﬁne grinding wheel

for honing.

To apply the chosen 150 mm Abrasive to a Glass Wheel surface,

simply peel the backing off the abrasive disk. Handle the Abrasive

disc by the outer edges, being careful not to get any contaminants

on the PSA backing as they will produce lumps under the paper and

decrease sharpening performance. Flex the paper into a “U” shape

so the center of the Abrasive is centered on the Glass Wheel. Slowly

ﬂatten out the Abrasive from the center working toward the outer

edge of the Glass Wheel. For best results, roll a dowel over the Glass

Wheel after adhering the Abrasive to remove any air bubbles that

have formed. If air bubbles remain under the PSA Abrasive after

rolling, pierce them with a needle or ﬁne knife point and then press

them ﬁrmly to remove the air.

Your Work Sharp also includes a Slotted Wheel for see-through

sharpening of radius tools using the Underside Sharpening Port.

The corresponding slotted Abrasive is speciﬁcally designed for this

Wheel. Make sure all the slots in the abrasive properly align with

the slots in the wheel surface. This will ensure proper performance

of the Slotted Wheel during use.

Sharpening Port PSA Abrasive adhered to the heat sink.

The 2" x 2" P400 PSA Abrasive is adhered to the heat sink at the

manufacturer. The abrasive in the

Sharpening Port laps the back of a

tool during sharpening. This signiﬁ-

cantly decreases the burr, or wire,

during sharpening and dramatically

reduces sharpening time.

An extra piece of this abra

sive has been provided for you. To

replace this Abrasive to the heat sink, the Fence must ﬁrst be moved

all the way to the left of the Sharpening Port, and the wheel must

be removed. To traverse the Fence to the left, simply roll the Fence

Alignment Knob toward yourself. Keep traversing the Fence to the

left side of the Sharpening Port until it passes the notched wall on

the left side and stops. Do not force the Fence Alignment Knob or

Fence. Once the Fence is completely on the left side of the Sharpen-

ing Port, peel the backing off the 2" x 2" P400 PSA abrasive. Handle

the Abrasive by the outer edges, being careful not to get any con-

taminants on the PSA backing as they will produce lumps under the

paper and decrease sharpening performance. You will have to slide

the Abrasive under the Wheel Shroud. Be sure that the Abrasive ﬁts

squarely on the heat sink and that the upper edge of the Abrasive

(closest to the center of the Wheel Hub) ﬁts right to the edge of the

heat sink.

6. Place the tempered Glass Wheel with coarse abrasives onto the

Wheel Hub. Mount the Wheel so the coarser side of the Glass Wheel

is facing up. Secure the Wheel with the provided Top Knob. Do not

over-tighten the Top Knob; it only needs to be ﬁnger tight.

7. Install the Top Tool Rest. To install your Top Tool Rest, ﬁrst re-

move it from the packaging and locate the 2 provided thumbscrews

to mount the Tool Rest. Simply slide the Top Tool Rest into the T-

Slots on the top of the unit. Thread the provided fasteners into the

tapped holes in the Tool Rest. Ensure the Tool Rest is level by plac-

ing a level on top of the Tool Rest surface. Once you have located

the height and level of the Tool Rest you wish, tighten the 2 thumb-

screws to secure the Tool Rest. Do not over-tighten these 2 thumb-

screws, as you can potentially stress and/or damage the T-Slots in

the top casting.
