Answer 3

Look at it, touch it, it is pretty clear when the blade is in bad shape.

Note, be very careful how you tip the lawn mower when you look at the blade or change it. If you tip a gas mower the wrong way you will get oil into the carborator. I did this (before I knew better) and my mower never was the same. Less RPMs and hard to start. Consult your manual or call the company to find which is the right way.
