How to sharpen the blade on your MTD electric walk-behind lawn mower

• Shut off the lawn mower and make sure the blade has stopped rotating. Remove the safety key and battery pack then remove the blade.
• Tightly secure the cutting blade in a vise.
• Wear work gloves to protect your hands and safety goggles to protect your eyes.
• Carefully file the cutting edges of the blade with a fine tooth file or sharpening stone. Sharpen the blade at the original cutting angle.
• Sharpen the cutting edges on both ends of the blade. File off equal amounts of the cutting blade edges from both ends so the blade remains balanced.
• Check blade balance and continuing filing until the blade is properly balanced.
• Reinstall the cutting blade on the lawn mower
