How to Clean and Sharpen Blades on a Robotic Lawn Mower-Company new-Lawn Mower

Here’s a comprehensive guide on cleaning and sharpening blades for a robotic lawn mower, including a summary table for quick reference:

Disconnect the mower from power (charging station/battery).

Wear gloves and eye protection to oid injuries from sharp edges.

Remove Debris: Use a stiff brush or compressed air to clear grass clippings, dirt, and sap from the blade surfaces.

Wipe Down: Dampen a cloth with mild soapy water to clean the blades, then dry thoroughly to prevent rust.

Inspect for Damage: Check for cracks, bends, or excessive wear. Replace severely damaged blades.

Tools Needed: Flat file, bench grinder, or sharpening kit (maintain a 30°–45° angle).

Sharpening Steps:

Secure the blade in a vise or clamp.

File from the base to the tip in smooth, even strokes (5–10 passes per side).

Balance the blade by checking if it sits level on a nail or balancer.

Alternative: Use a sharpening stone for minor touch-ups.

Reattach the blade securely, ensuring bolts are tightened to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.

Test the mower on a small patch of grass to verify clean cuts and smooth operation.

Task	Frequency	Tools/Notes
Clean blades	After every 5–10 mowing sessions	Brush, cloth, soapy water
Inspect for damage	Monthly	Visual check; replace if bent/cracked
Sharpen blades	Every 20–25 operating hours	File/grinder (30°–45° angle)
Lubricate blade bolts	Seasonally	Light machine oil to prevent rust

Storage: Keep blades dry and coated with oil during off-seasons.

Avoid Wet Grass: Mowing damp grass accelerates blade dulling and rust.

Blade Types: Use high-lift or mulching blades for thicker grass, ensuring compatibility with your model.

For severe wear, consider replacing blades instead of repeated sharpening. Regular maintenance ensures efficient cutting and prolongs blade life.
