The 5-Minute Sharpening Method

Dull blades tear grass rather than cutting it, leaving jagged edges that turn brown and invite disease. While a professional bench grinding is recommended once a year, you can easily touch up Your blades mid-season without the hassle of removing them.

What You Need

• Heavy leather gloves
• A spark plug wrench
• A rotary blade sharpener attachment for a power drill

Detailed Guide

Step 1: Safety First! ALWAYS disconnect the spark plug wire before reaching under the grass cutter. This prevents accidental engine starts.

Step 2: Tip the grass cutter correctly. Tip the grass cutter so the carburetor and air filter are facing UP. If you tip it the wrong way, oil will flood the engine.

Step 3: Utilize the Drill Attachment. The rotary sharpener has a plastic guide that rests against the back of the blade, ensuring the grinding stone hits the edge at the Ideal angle. Run the drill along the cutting edge 3-4 times on each side.
