- BLADE ADVANTAGES:OCPTY offers a variety of lawn mower blades to meet your unique cutting needs. Sharp blades can cut grass cleanly, pass through the grass more effectively, and reduce overall mowing time and energy
- BLADE MAINTENANCE TIPS: Make sure you properly clean your lawn mower blades after each mowing session. Cleaning will prevent rusting caused by moist grass left after use
- WORKING PRINCIPLE: The lawn mower blades are designed to cut grass while rotating. The blades are connected to a high-speed rotating motor shaft, and when the blades rotate, they pull the grass in and cut it off with the sharp edges of the blades. Then, throw the grass out from the side of the lawn mower
