If your lawn mower has stopped cutting like it once did, you might need to follow this guide. You can remove your lawn mower blade and sharpen it within 15 minutes.
Cutting grass with dull blades is inefficient and can lead to lawn disease, discoloration or portions of the grass dying.
As with anything sharp, use caution when performing this guide to avoid injury and follow all safety procedures. Also, before starting this guide, be sure to remove the spark plug to ensure that the machine does not turn on during the repair.
