LawnMaster Electric Blower Vacuum Mulcher

I’ve never heard of this particular brand of yard equipment, but this blower/vacuum seems to be great quality. It is sturdy, has adjustable speed, and has a metal impeller and blade to chop up leaves. I’m not sure if it really achieves as 16:1 ratio, but it is very effective. The only problem I had with this blower is that it stopped working 5 minutes after I started using it. I tried everything I could think of, but I just couldn’t get it to work. I tried new cords, different outlets, and so on. Nothing worked. Eventually I figured out that there was a safety switch on the blower housing where you connect the leaf bag. I understand that there is one on the impeller door, which is necessary to keep it from coming on and possibly causing someone to cut their fingers, when the impeller door is open. But why is there a safety switch on the leaf bag, where you attach the blower tube when it is used in blower mode? Anyway, what had happened was that I didn’t completely engage the safety switch on the leaf bag. You have to press REALLY hard to completely lock the bag in place and activate the safety switch. Once you do that, you are good to go. I guess I had not completely pressed the bag on and it disengaged just enough to stop the blower in its tracks. Other than that, I had no other problems with the blower.
