What steps are involved in converting from blower to vac/mulcher?

If in blower mode, remove nozzle by pushing on the "button" and pulling it off, then insert bag attachment. Open fan blade cover by unlatching guard and install vacuum tube.

You simply unclick the blower nozzle attach the leaf bag in that same spot then unbuckle the bottom and attach the vacum piece. Probably takes 1 minute I have done it multiple times now.

You have to take it off and switch components if you wanna do that I'm more then happy with the product I just used it today at my house

You would need to remove the blower tube from the unit, install the bag in its place. Open the intake cover and install the vacuum tube in position there. That's all.

You have to pull of the Blower pipe extension pipe, then connect the vacuum bag into the same outlet. Once you do this turn the blower upside down and you will see a round door. Open it up and connect the Vacuum pipe, clamp and then close. Turn the switch on and begin to vacuum.

As a followup to my reply, I do not use the small bag that comes with the blower. I use a leaf collection system, Black & Decker part #BV-006 which covers the top of a 30 gallon plastic container and also an adapter, Black & Decker part #90528426 that connects the blower to the leaf collection system.I think that you can purchase both of these items through Dewalt Service Center, 5999 Crawfordsville Rd., Indianapolis, In 46224. Telephone # 317-243-8308.Hope this additional information will help you. I purchased these additional items so I didn't have to empty the small bag so often.

It comes with an excellent owners manual. You will need to purchase the cleaner and filters. After a few cylcles pull the plug and drain the sediment; it's easy.

I made a gutter cleaning attachment with three pieces of one-inch PVC pipe and two 90-degree elbows, attaching it to the blower by cutting the bottom off a plastic bottle and taping it to the front end of the blower. Nothing elegant, but it works!

An instruction manual came with the unit. I plugged my unit directly into the vacuum line, which is where my old vacuum was plugged into. I had to adjust the valves from the setting of my old unit, but it was only a small adjustment.

The shredder/mulching feature is simply accomplished by "reversing" the way you use the blower.To use as a mulcher:Attached the wider plastic tube onto the underside of the blower unit. (air intake)This is where the air comes IN and where the leaves and very small twigs will get sucked up into the plastic blades,The mulched up debris will be ejected out the end you would usually use for blowing leaves into a bag that attaches to it by removing the air-flow reducer (normal front piece).As you can see, yes, it is always on, but it is how you use it, similar to a reverse vacuum, so there is no turning this feature ON or OFF.Hope this helps!

If you purchase the model with bag, then you have the option to run it as a sweeper vac as well as a blower vac.

Pretty simple process. Take 2 existing bolts out of the frame under seat and replace them with provided bolts. The slide the grass catcher frame onto the mower and place pin through bolt. Then the lid of the grass catcher slides onto the frame and the bags slide into place. Instructions are very straightforward and it took me about 10 minutes or less to complete.

It will handle them, the vac function works very well and the mulching blade is durable. However it will be very noisy with the acorns being ground up! On the down side, the blowing function does not work well for anything heavier than dry leaves - the end of the nozzle is too small to allow a lot of air out.

You could, but I'd be very careful because there is NO air filter. That would not be a good addition to this blower/vac. It doesn't have a filter because the area that the filter would be in is also the area that grinds up the leaves in the vacuum mode. An air filter would also slow down the blower because there would be a restrictive filter in the way of the air input to the blower. It is a leaf Blower/vac after all. It works great for that purpose.

None. Pull it out of the box. Put in oil and gas. Slip on the blower tube and fire it up. This thing starts every time on a dime and is very strong. I love it.

yes its a blower vac---Vac bag and parts are sold separately---This is our 2nd one of this model---1st lasted 8 years-and my wife uses it almost every day all year long

sweeper is when you reverse the tubes so it is vacume instead of blower. sucks leaves etc into the attached bag. if you blow, you detach the bag. we sweep up leaves in a small area. only works well on DRY leaves in SMALL quantities

Very easy. Just unplug from wall outlet, detach incoming hose, mount the new vac and replug. 15 minutes max.

I know nothing about the CFM output. I do not use any dust collection. The shavings fly out. I roll mine to the doorway and use a 2' piece of 4" hose and let them go onto my gravel driveway which is pretty much covered with sawdust anyway. If it wasn't this easy for me, I would direct my hose into a garbage can or 5-gallon bucket. I kinda think that any dust collection system or shop vac would just get in the way.

The hose from the shop vac connects to the top of the Dust Deputy, and the hose leading to the tool (table saw, router, band saw, etc.) connects to the side of the Dust Deputy. Just slide the vacuum hose over the nozzle ports on the Dust Deputy, switch on the shop vac, and you're ready to go. No more dust will get into the shop vac, so you'll never have to replace the filter again. Just empty the container beneath the Dust Deputy when it gets about half full. I use a 5-gallon bucket under my Dust Deputy.
