Lawn Mower Maintenance: The Effortless Trick for Sharpening Blades

Step-by-Step Guide to Sharpening Lawnmower Blades Effortlessly

1. Tip the Mower: Begin by tipping the mower onto its side, ensuring that the air filter and carburetor are facing upwards to prevent any fuel leakage.
2. Remove the Blade: Use the socket wrench to carefully remove the blade from the mower.
3. Prepare the Sandpaper: Spray a light coat of WD-40 onto the sandpaper to lubricate it.
4. Sharpen the Blade: Lay the sandpaper flat on the wooden block, then gently run the blade across the sandpaper until you achieve a sharp edge.
5. Reattach the Blade: Once sharp, securely reattach the blade using the socket wrench. This entire process should only take about 15 minutes, leaving your blades razor-sharp and ready for action!
