Sharpen Lawn Mower blade

Many consumers never think about sharpening their lawn mower blade. They just continue to use their lawn mowers year after year as the blade becomes less sharp. Many consumers who do not sharpen the lawn mower blade may not even notice the difference when they cut the lawn. However there is a major impact on the health and the quality of your lawn and those people who like to have the perfect lawn will ensure that they sharpen the lawn mower blade at least once a year of more often depending on how much lawn you cut every week.

A dull lawn mower blade will tear the blades of grass rather than cut the blades of grass. This not only leaves a slightly uneven look, it is also unhealthy for the grass and exposes it to more opportunities for disease and various blights. If your summer is very warm, the lawn will also dry out much faster as well.



So now that we have convinced you to sharpen your lawn mower blade, how should you do it. The safest way is to take your lawn mower into a lawn mower repair shop and have a professional do it. This will cost a bit more, however you know it will be completed properly and safely. For some customers this is the only option since they do not have the equipment to do it themselves.

If you plan sharpen your lawn mower blade your self, take the following precautions. Before removing the lawn mower blade, disconnect the spark plug wire so the lawn mower cannot start accidentally. Next remove the blade and then either take it to a maintenance shop to be sharpened or sharpen the blade using an electric grinder. Make sure you use both protective eye glasses as well as gloves, take your time and sharpen the blade in nice even strokes to avoid any damage to the blade!
