How to Sharpen Your Lawn Mower Blade: With Help from a Lawnmower Lift

One of the simplest and most needed tasks you will have to carry out as a lawn mower owner is sharpening the blades. As your mower is used to cut through countless yards of grass, the blade slowly becomes covered with grass. At that point the blades won't cut very well and you will at least have to clean them off. Over time the blades will become dull and they just won't get the job done any longer. If you don't know how to sharpen your blades you will be left with a worthless mower and an overgrown yard. If you have a larger mower one of the best things you can buy is a mower lift. A mower lift will allow you to get at the blades without a problem. You will no longer have to struggle to reach all of the little parts in a cramped space.

The first thing you should do after you have lifted your mower up is unplug the sparkplug wire. That will keep the mower from accidentally starting and cutting your hand when you are working with the blades. After you have cut off the spark you should oil up the blade nut and bolt. Let the oil soak in for a few minutes and while that is sitting secure the blade in place with a blade holder, or a c-clamp and a block of wood. You are going to remove the blade and you won't be able to loosen it up if it is able to move. After the blades are locked in place remove the nut and pull the blade off.

The first thing you will have to do is remove any built up grass on the blade. Use a scraper to get rid of any of the gunk on the blades and then you will be able to see what you are doing. With your professional blade sharpener in hand do your best to restore a nice sharp edge to the blades. Make sure to maintain the angle that was already on the blades, because it will give you the best results. If the blade has numerous nicks you may have to replace it. Do your best to get a nice fine edge, but don't overdo it. If there are a few nicks left that is fine, just make sure that there is a nice sharp edge. While sharpening make sure you don't force the blade in to the sharpener. A forced blade will heat up and lose its temper.
