Product Information

Almost all lawnmowers will come with specifications on how tight a blade bolt must be.That being said, most blade bolts are over-tightened. To sharpen by hand, first clean your blade, removing all dirt and cut grass debris. Clamp the blade within a vice. You should use a flat hand file to sharpen it, moving from the inside of the sharp edge to the outside. Maintain the current angle of the blade, which is likely to be around 45°. You should be looking to have a shiny, clean edge to your blade. It does not need to be especially sharp, with a butter knife representing a suitable level. Once you have done the first side, flip the blade over and sharpen the other. When both sides are sharpened, balance the blade over its centre, ensuring that it is evenly balanced. If not, you’ll need to sharpen further on one side to restore the balance

However, I advise that you care for your lawnmower in such a way that you prevent corrosion around the blade bolt, making it easy to remove the next time you need to swap out the blade. Next, you will need leverage to get that bolt off, and the standard length of a wrench handle is unlikely to cut.
