working properly vs work properly

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Working properly' is the present participle form of the verb 'work' and is used to describe something (such as a machine) that is currently functioning correctly. 'Work properly' is the base form of the verb 'work' followed by an adverb 'properly' and is used to give an instruction or suggestion on how a task should be done.
