How do you switch from vacuum to blower mode? Do you need to remove the zipper bag? Flip a switch/lever?

You just throw a switch, but that and the bag are the only good thing about this blower. It's noisy, under powered and very awkward to use. I have this and a Yardman vac and I gave the worx away........

Yes, there is a lever that you flip that changes the direction of the air flow. You do not have to remove the bag when changing from vacuum to blower mode. Hope this helps.

Just flip a switch, but neither one is worth the effort...Buy a nice leaf blower and forget about the gimmick of suck and blow.

You don't have to take the bag off, you can just flip the switch. I suggest you buy another product, this one doesn't have good suction nor does it have good blowing power.

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

I think it's a screwed up design, I have to get a screwdriver and flip the lever underneath to let the handle down and hope you don't push it all the way back up or you will have to do it again.My vacuum guy is looking at mine to see if anything can be done to fix it.

I have a BV5600 and my bag is great. It zipps all the way accross the end and most of the way up the side. You said you had trouble getting it to fit on your blower you must have the wrong bag.

Just hold your regular vacuum hose up to the bag's opening and voila, it sucks the air out of the bag. It's very easy and kind of fun.

The release button on the handle (Just above the power switch) will release the vacuum attachment. Reverse the process for installing the blower attachment.ps. Make sure the vacuum bag is on tight or your laundry will suffer, and the dust cloud could get the E.P.A's attention.

nope, I don't think so. As soon as you switched to vacuum mode, it sucks and mulches at the same time...

First a bit of background -- I am an electrical engineer by training and practice. The switch is rated at 3 amp/125 volt, 1/2 H.P.. If your vacuum is less than this, you are good to go. If it is not, you need to find a bigger switch. If you are not sure, let me know what model vacuum you have and I can probably figure it out.

Just unpacked mine - guess what? There's a setting just for vacuuming. It turns the brushes off. Who knew? Have only done the rugs today. Guess my old vacuum cleaner wasn't cleaning very well!

The vac tube is removable and replaced by a cover. The blower tube fits where the bag is attached.

If you don't have the suction tube on there is a shaped attachment that takes it's place. Then take the straight tube and place it where the bag goes. This is how to go from vac to blower.

I think that the zipper is the same as the original one that came with the blower/vac. I have been through about 3-4 bags and it seems that the bags always wear out around the zippers themselves. So either the zipper breaks and or stops working properly or the fabric around the zipper wears out from all the leaves being shot at it. I just have replacement bags handy in case just that situation ever arises.

I actually used my regular vacuun cleaner. I just placed to suction hose over the opening and turned it on. Be suer you lock the valve by turning to the right after you get all the air out. To reopen the bags, simply turn the valve to the left and it will expand. Good luck!

When the air bag goes off, it blows a non-replaceable fuse internal to the module. You need a new module.

I have a Dust Care vacuum canister, which automatically starts when I flip the ON switch on the nozzle of the wand unit. The Wessel Werk power head itself does not have a power switch on the head.

I actually haven't tried the self propel mode. It does have an on/off switch at the handle with the power switch. My wife must not be using it because the switch is always off. What I read from other users before I purchased it was that the main thing is letting the vacuum propel itself in that mode and not be pushing and pulling yourself. Guess I should try the feature next time I have to vacuum. That feature wasn't even part of my decision to buy--I just wanted a good vacuum with a bag.
