Maintaining Your Mower Blades?
For a healthy lawn, you should sharpen your lawnmower blades. Dull blades don�t cut your grass, they tear and damage it. You can use a file or a grinding wheel to sharpen them.

If your blades are uneven, sharpen the heavier end until the blades are level. Unbalanced blades cut unevenly and put extra wear and tear on the lawnmower. This will eventually damage your lawnmower�s engine.

Not necessarily when to change; but when to sharpen mower blades: The easiest way to know is by observing the way the grass is cut. A sharp blade will make a "clean cut" on the grass blades, whereas a dull blade will "tear" the grass and leave a "ragged" appearance. As far as when to change out the blades, there is no set time interval, you just have to visually evaluate the condition of the blade (bent, badly worn, warped, etc.) to determine when to change.
