Lawn mower blades are key elements that influence the quality and efficiency of mowing. Regular maintenance, sharpening and proper blade replacement are essential to keep your mower in good condition. When choosing knives, it is worth paying attention to their type, quality of workmanship and adaptation to a specific mower model.

Knife types:

• Hammer knives: Heavy and durable knives, designed for heavier work, such as shredding branches and plant debris.
• Y-type knives: Lighter knives that are more effective at mowing grass and small plants.
• Mulching knives: Specially designed knives that cut the grass into small pieces, which are then spread on the lawn as a natural fertilizer.
• Standard cutting blades: Most often used in rotary mowers, they cut the grass to a specific height.

Tips for using lawn mower blades:

Regular maintenance:

• Knife sharpening: Knives should be sharpened regularly to ensure clean and efficient cutting. Blunt knives can tear the grass, which leads to its damage.
• Balancing the blades: After sharpening, check the balance of the blades to prevent vibrations that could damage the mower.

Replacement of knives:

• Regular inspection: Knives should be inspected regularly for wear, cracks or other damage. Worn or damaged knives should be replaced immediately.
• Appropriate spare parts: When replacing blades, it is worth using original spare parts or high-quality substitutes to ensure the long life and efficiency of the mower.

Security:

• Disconnecting the Power: Before replacing or maintaining the blades, always unplug the mower to avoid accidental starting.
• Using appropriate tools: Use appropriate tools when disassembling and assembling knives to avoid damage and ensure safe operation.
