Generally, electric leaf blowers have a CFM falling somewhere from just under 200 to 400. If your property is one acre or more, you will probably want a leaf blower with a CFM between 400 to 700.
We do not recommend using this blower for any task other than leaf blowing.
This is normal. There are tiny holes in the collection bag that are necessary for its operation. They allow very small particles of dust to pass through.
To get the most life out of your battery, you should remove it from the charger once it has finished charging. The problem with overcharging is the potential damage it can cause to the battery that can shorten its lifespan. Of course, be sure to read your tool’s instructions as it may indicate that storing your battery on the charger is fine.
If your blower is not easily picking up leaves, ensure that the nozzle is close enough to the leaves/debris. Also, make sure that the mode indicator is on the correct setting. Press the low/high switch to increase the speed options. The unique design of the blower-vac means that only lightweight, low density objects such as leaves and garden debris will be collected. It is worth noting, higher density objects such as stones and sticks will not be collected. If you are finding that the unit is still not picking up garden debris, it may be necessary to remove the blower tube or mulcher tubes to clear a blocked tube or impeller. Please be sure to remove the battery or unplug the unit before checking the tube or impeller.
