Q:Like others, I find turning the dial for blow vs vacuum impossible--seems like you need the equivalent of lug nut wrench. Yes I'm pulling it up first. Has anyone figured out how to get the dial to turn?

A: Definitely here because I've having this issue. Just bought it. Worked well as a blower, converted to vacuum fine, but now can't remove the bag because the knob will pull up but not turn, AT ALL! Definitely an Internal problem. No solution found.

A: I was trying too hard. Try not inserting it all the way (like about 1/8 away from fully inserted). When you turn the dial the tab goes farther into the slot. I spent 30 minutes trying to turn the knob...

A: Hello, Curious - Thank you for your question. This is not an issue you should be experiencing. First, I would recommend confirming you are fully pulling the knob and then turning it. If you are still unable to turn the mode selector knob then you can take the tool into a service center or return it if you are able to. I hope this helps!

Q:Instead of using the bag, does Ryobi have a hose and lid connection that can fit over a yard waste bin? I have a ton of leaves. I know the mulching capability is good, but it will still take many bags.

Q:Defective design. Some electrical connection is shutting mine down while I'm using it. I think it may be a safety mechanism or switch connection. It restarts if I jar it a bit, but otherwise it's mostly useless.
