  garciapennyAug 31, 2025
  Your Craftsman Lawn Mower might not be mulching grass effectively due to: * Wet grass. Avoid mowing when the grass is wet; wait for it to dry. * Excessively high grass. Mow once at a higher cutting height, then mow again at the desired height, or make a narrower cutting path. * A dull blade. Sharpen or replace the blade for better mulching performance.
