Lawn mowers are self sharpening and
and when they do not cut the grass
properly it is because the screws need
setting and not because the blades
are dull. To make the lawn mower cut
smoothly, adjust the screws on the side
of the stationary knife or blade.
Loosen the front screw and tighten the
back screw 20 that the front sharp edge
Of the stationary blade will be raised
closer to the rotary blades. Then if
the lawn mower is still not sharp enough
also tighten the screws that fasten the
rotary blades 30 that they will be low
cred closer to the stationary blade. A
pair Of scissors with loose screw will
not cut but tighten the screw, thereby
bringing the blades closer together and
the scissors will cut again. Do not
sharpen q lawn mower by filing the
edges of the blades, for if you do you
will increase the distance between the
rotary blades and the stationary blade
and your lawn mower will be worse
than before you tried to sharpen it.
