When to get it checked
Never test a blade with your fingers. Disconnect the spark plug lead on a petrol mower or isolate the battery before any inspection, and use proper protective equipment. If you are not sure how to make the machine safe, leave the work to a mechanic.
Common signs to mention
- Ragged or frayed grass tips after mowing
- A new vibration or rattling from the deck
- Blade edge visibly nicked or worn
- A seasonal clean and maintenance check is due
What to have handy
Make and model if visible, a short description of the fault, and when it last ran normally. If the machine is unsafe to operate, stop using it and call before transporting it.
