It's best to have your 5 year old son sharpen your blade this way, it's actually the most effective way, just start the mower and have him stick a knife sharpener in the spinning blade.

Go to my channel. Il show you how a real mechanic sharpens blades!

he forgot to mention that you should wear safety goggles, drink plenty of fluids, and get a good night sleep before doing this minor chore. also take a breathalizer test to make sure you aren't inebriated!

@TonyInTopeka if you tip it on the other side it can, but most of all oil will come out and soak the filter

so all you have to do is remove the blade...buy the sharpener from Lowes....and then the blade sharpens itself.

For a newbie, it's a good introduction.

There was no mention on how to sharpen the blade. This video doesn't help in the least....

Most Lowes videos are pretty helpful but this one isn't. He spends more time listing off the things you'll "need" and what stuff Lowes sells than anything Doesn't eve show you how to sharpen the blade! He also doesn't point out that you should refer to the manual for which way is the safe way to tip the mower (varies depending on the engine). I'd also remove the spark plug to eliminate any chance of accidental starting.

Does gas not come out of the carburetor when you tip it on its side like that?
