you wont kill yourself, but that being said, theirs more to it than just sharpening, first what is the brush hog mowing? if your mowing mostly grass, you can sharpen the blades up sharp like a lawn mower and they'll do a nice job on grass, but they wont do well if your mowing brush and small saplingts, for that they need to have a semi sharp edge so they]ll shatter the brush stumps and help prevent regrowth, then next thing is what do you have to sharpen the blades with? i use a bench grinder once in awhile with the blades each removed from the carrier, but for most general sharpening a small right angle grinder works well, if you get a grinding disc so you can use the backside of it to gring the top of the blades, some brush hogs will not allow this due to their design, and you must remove the blades to sharpen every time, some will let you get a grinder up in there and use it, block the brush hog up so it cant fall on you, if its hooked to the tractor a pair of good quality jack stands will work fine, then block the pto shaft so it cant rotate i hold the blade with one hand and run the grinder with the other, it takes some practice, if your not feeling safe doing that way just remove the blades to sharpen them
