Question: How and Why should I sharpen my lawn mower's blade?
A. Every month or two, you
should sharpen the lawn mower's blade. The reason for sharpening lawn
mower blades is that dull blades have a tendency to rip grass blades
instead of cutting cleanly, leaving grass susceptible to diseases.
Here's how to sharpen a lawn mower blade:
First remove the spark plug wire to ensure the lawn mower doesn't start up accidentally, resulting in injury.
With a wrench, remove the nut that holds the lawn mower blade up against the deck, then remove the blade.
Use a file to do the sharpening. Follow the angle of the
cutting edge that's already there (the angle will be roughly 45
degrees).
