How can I sharpen the mower blade?

First, disconnect the spark plug and remove the blade by loosening the blade bolt. Secure the blade in a vice and sharpen it using a file or grinder, following the original angle. Balance the blade before reinstalling it.

What should I do if the mower vibrates excessively?
