Sharpening the Blade in a Vise

1.Remove the safety key and the battery. If you are charging the battery, first disconnect the charger from the electrical (wall) outlet.

2.While holding the handlebars (as if you are mowing), turn the mower over on its right side to expose the blade.

3.Remove the blade.

4.Secure the blade in a sturdy vise.

5.While wearing safety glasses, carefully file the cutting edges of the blade using even strokes. Be sure to file both sides of the blade equally.

6.Check the blade after sharpening to be sure it is still balanced.

Balancing the Blade

An out-of-balance blade causes your machine to vibrate excessively. Excessive vibration may cause damage to the mower, especially to its motor.

Because you are removing metal from the blade, make sure to remove an equal amount from each side to keep the blade balanced. The best way to balance a blade is with a blade balancer (available at most local hardware stores), or with a large screwdriver, nail, or bolt.

Tools & supplies needed:

Gloves

Blade balancer, or a large screwdriver, nail, or bolt

1.After sharpening the blade, hang it on the balancer and check the level (Figure33). If one side of the blade tips lower, sharpen that side a little at a time until the blade is balanced.

2.When sharpening a used blade, be especially careful to keep it balanced. If in doubt, replace the blade with a new one.

Of course, you can always have a mower service sharpen and balance your blade.
