  • Turn on the drill and run the sharpener along the blade edge, following the original bevel angle.
  • Sharpen evenly on both sides of the blade for balanced cutting.
  • Wipe the blade clean to remove metal filings.
  • Reinstall the blade on your mower and reconnect the spark plug.

    • Sharpen blades at least once per mowing season or after 20-25 hours of use.
