I was looking for a lightweight blower for my deck. kzfaq.infoUgkxgioZQl3J5wPGAeDINzbieKbT5qomSEx3 There are some huge trees around my house and the leaves and pods drop all over my deck. Having to move furniture around to sweep has become too big a chore. This blower was the answer. It is light enough for this 70yr old lady and powerful enough to blow all the tree droppings off my rather large deck. Thank you B&D. Be aware the cord is not included. I use a 3 prong outdoor cord 25' cord for my 12' x 20' deck. The cord retainer works very well, but don't try to pass the plug through it. That is NOT how it works. You just have to loop the cord and it works great. One of my best purchases. Very happy.

Thanks mate 8 years later, this video is still the gift that keeps on giving.

The part showing you vacuuming leaves painted a smile on my face. After raking just a third of an acre last year.....never again now thanks for showing how this works.

Thanks dude, I got this setup a while back but didn’t really think much about the vac function and now I see it in action I’m changing my mind. I have a couple of clients who are really going to appreciate this.

i cant tell you how happy i am for seeing this video. I was struggling for more than 30 min to figure out how to switch from blower to vacuum. thank you for posting this.

I've had mine for four years and I love it. If you take care of it it is a great combo, it has not let me down one time.

Again - Thanks for this video - ten years on and it's still useful!

The plastic cover on the impeller is spring loaded so once you unlock it, make sure to hold it open otherwise it will shut close and you need to insert the screwdriver again. This a a great blower for light to medium/light work. I have an older model for several years now and it always starts on the 3rd pull from a cold engine. I've even used it to blow powder snow off the sidewalk. Just bought a new one for my son-in-law. It was the SH 56C.

Thanks, my lawnmower shop set mine up and I needed to know how to get the tubing off. Great video.

After surfing the net.Yours was the only tutorial I could find on how to attach the vac kit.Thanks Heaps! ...My concern is if accidently vacuum up a piece of metal or stone etc,it would damage blades.

Thanx - have had the blower for a few years. Now I'm headed out to get the vac kit.

Thanks! Very clear demo on using the bag

Really helpful video, Ryan. My new machine didn't come with an instruction page or booklet, so I wanted to confirm how to release the orange side cover without snapping something off! You demonstrated it well. We don't have so many leaves in autumn here in Australia, but enough to use a few times. Mostly it is light, yet powerful blower.

Ryan, you explained it very well.

Great helpful video with simple explanations. Thanks so much

Just a tip; You would never spend the time to suck up an entire pile of leaves like this. You would simply rake them up. This device is for removing leaves etc. from flower beds or hard to rake places, thus saving you the trouble of crawling around on your knees or stooping over for long periods. I just ordered one of these today, $300 (includes the 9.5% tax here).

Thanks for this video, saved me a lot of time

TY very much for your explanation, very easy to understand :)

Fantastic ! Very informative thank you

Thanks mate. Useful and thorough. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the vid , was doing my head in on how to take it off . Top stuff mate 🤙

just bought one. thanks for the demo.

Thanks for the comprehensive demonstration

Great video. It helped me. Thanks.

FANTASTIC AND VERY INFORMATIVE THNAK YOU

Good job you helped me assemble mine thanks

Me gustó mucho tu demostración, tengo un blower así pero no sabía que me serviría para recoger las hojas también, voy a ir a que me vendan los attachment para la vacum. Thank You so much 😊.

I love my still blower vac, went cheap the first time then picked this up for $199.00 at the lawnmower shop in town. Works great.

Nice video. Well explained and demonstrated. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks for the vid

Thanks for the info.

Video helped a lot. Thanks

Good video...thanks!

great video bro, this actually helped me decide on getting electric or not. i think i'll just pick one of these up

Very, very helpful. Thanks.

Great video!

Very good demo

man i need to tune my carb your blower runs perfect on idle ! mine seems to sound like cylinder misfires happen

Something nobody mentions is that when using the vacuum in a flower bed then the fan housing can become choked with sticky damp soil. It's an easy fix: unfastening the surrounding eight screws releases the top half of the fan housing giving access to a thorough cleaning job. My concern is whether, by not keeping an eye on this potential problem and keeping the airflow at a max, the machine could overheat and so disastrously fail...

thank u, great job

Nice job. Thanks.

Thank you man!

Thank you. That was helpful!

Nice Job!!!

I have one of these..use it more in the blower position than the vacuum. Note: If you are vacuuming Oak leaves be very careful of acorns as they will jam the impeller blades.

Just bought one today... only thing about this model is having to use a screwdriver to push down and unlock the tubing's... other than that I'm fairly satisfied for Homeowner use... blower works better than expected vac it is so so...

How do you take apart the suction tube? It came in two pieces - when we put it together we could not figure out how to get it back in to two pieces??

do you happen to know the part number for the blower tube for this model? I have the blower with the vacuum attachments but I need the tube to convert it back into a blower.

how do you break apart the vac tubes - take the extension section off?

Great video

On my Stihl sh56c I put on a flat nozzle on to give the blower more power.

How would the blade deal with green grass clippings?

Beautiful security shoes. 😉

Very nice bikes 🚲

Sensacional eu tenho um desse e não sabia dessa função aqui no Brasil eles vendem cada ontem separados

Have you ever had to replace the blade?

Great video, Thanks. Just wondering how is the straight vacuum tube dismantled/puled apart at the mid length point?

We have lot of pine trees around house. I must tray it on " pine needles"

Thanks for the video. I saw one today and almost bought it but was sceptical about 7how it would handle the lava rocks in the flower beds. i do not care if it chops the leaves up as long as it can

Can we use with Cashew leaf?

Very good vid! I am gonna buy one, do you think an electric one would work too? What if it hits a small stone while vacuuming?

Has the fan blade held up OK after picking up larger pieces of stick or small stones?

I am sure there is a way to sharpen those blades!

I love my bg86

Where did you get the chopper blade that is behind the grille?

i always use my lawnboy 10601 with bag to shred and collect leaves , just less equipment to store

where did u get the attachments from

Where did you buy that blower

Tyup

Can it have any gravel or small stones please ?

Can you increase diameter of suction pipe to increase flow of leaves.

Do you have any issues with your blower in vacuum mode sucking up rocks? Thinking about getting one with the vacuum option to pickup leaves out of the flower beds in the fall. Don't want to suck up any rocks LOL.

Good Video....safety shoes?

Counterclockwise!

Gute Autoschlüssel. Lander

Hello can you please tell mе how long is length Suction tube ?

Como puedo sacar la bola de goma, que impulsa la gasolina de un itachi blower RB 24. EAP.

What happens if it sucks up a rock?

great vid! i am thinking of purchasing this unit. My main use would be to suck up left over grass blades and dirt after I have mowed my lawn. Has anyone used this unit to do so? is it effective in sucking up the dirt and grass blades? please let me know. thanks!

It would be great if you could comment on the volume of leaves per full bag. In other words, you had a reasonable pile of leaves but the video switched to you emptying the bag. Were you able to vacuum/shred that entire pile that you showed? What about the ease or lack of ease in emptying the bag? Lots of dust in your eyes and upper airways or not? Lastly, what about items like acorns; plenty of them here in Oregon, and small twigs. Will this end up requiring replacement of blades? I doubt if most people have 100% leaves without some additional stuff to vacuum. Video was well done. If you make another be sure to speak a lot louder when you have the machine operating. I want to hear ALL that you have to share.

Is the metal blade an add on and does it come with the kit.?

Very good video. I was surprised the bag held so many leaves. Did you get all those leaves in two trips?

Can we do same with 86 c

How does it work for wet leaves. I live in rainy British Columbia.

Ryan is the macerator component, the blades, are they plastic or metal?

Found it to be a great vac but a bit gutless as a blower, my Makita 4 stroke is far better! Would still recommend it though, as I said, as a vac it's great!

Che differenza ce’ fra il bg 56 e shop 56? Io ho il bg 56 con lo stesso kit che ai te

Cool can you put the link in the comment plz thx

Thay fella

MAKE IT 40 T0 ONE AND YOUR BEARINGS WILL LAST A LOT LONGER

Simply cannot believe the face with which you clipped those tubes on!! I've got the same machine and its practically impossible (literally impossible if it's cold or wet). What makes it worse is the thing is constantly getting blocked.

Gute gute aus Länder Schlüssel sevar

Very informative but the guy should be wearing protective shoes

Great video, thanks for not playing music. Disappointed in the shredding results, the electric machines do much better shredding ironically.

I have a stihl BG86C that blows leaves not vacuum

You can sharpen anything you want kid!

These work great UNTIL the leaves get damp, or wet.

Nice vid bro!
