Vacuum and Mulcher Mode:
With the vacuum tube and collection bag attached, switch the tool to vacuum mode. Guide the vacuum tube over the leaves. The integrated mulcher will reduce the volume of leaves at a 15:1 ratio, depositing them into the 40L collection bag. For best results, vacuum dry leaves and avoid wet debris or large sticks.
