I have this exact mower and I find its easier to get new blades online for $12.99 each, so why sharpen them? They stay sharp enough for about a year for me and that's on a 6 acre homestead. The best way to change the blades is with an impact wrench. Takes about 10 minutes.

You will need to raise the mower to get under it. Remove the blade bolts and blades. When blades have been sharpened replace the blades and with the blade bolts.
