FAQs
What is the running time on a full charge?
Running time varies by speed setting. On the lowest speed, you can expect up to 95 minutes. On the highest speed, the runtime is approximately 20 minutes.
How do I switch between blower, vacuum, and mulcher modes?
The conversion typically involves detaching and reattaching specific tubes and the collection bag. Refer to the user manual for detailed step-by-step instructions for your model.
Can I use batteries from other brands?
This tool requires Yard Force 20V Lithium Ion batteries. While it is designed for Yard Force batteries, always consult your user manual to confirm compatibility with other brands.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the product packaging or the official Yard Force website for the most current warranty information, as terms can vary.
How often should I clean the tool?
It is recommended to clean the tool after each use, especially emptying the collection bag and wiping down the exterior. Periodically check for debris in the air vents and impeller.
What does the 8:1 mulching ratio mean?
An 8:1 mulching ratio means that for every eight bags of organic material (like leaves), the tool processes it down to the volume of one bag, significantly reducing waste and improving composting efficiency.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not power on
Ensure both batteries are correctly inserted and fully charged. Check that the safety switch is engaged.
Reduced blowing or vacuuming power
Check for blockages in the tube or air intake. Ensure the collection bag is not overfilled. Verify batteries are charged.
Mulcher not effectively shredding debris
Ensure the tool is switched to mulching mode. Check for large, hard objects that may be jamming the impeller. Ensure the mulching tube is correctly attached.
Battery not charging
Verify the charger is properly connected to a power source. Ensure the battery is correctly seated in the charger. Clean battery contacts if dirty.
