I have a Black and Decker BV1000 Type 5. It is quite old but and I bought it from a guy. Question: how do you change this thing from Vacuum to blowing?

Hi,

if you're looking for battery packs that will fit the screwdriver, you might check on ebay and alibaba with merchants who are selling your product. It's possible that they could still be selling a generic brand of the rechargeable battery for your device as well.

Thank you.

You will be wasting your time. The fan creating the wind is not going to give you proper flow. It was designed to work one way. Changing wiring will not work on some motors. Also depends if its AC or DC motor.

Hi Geno,
I have the same problem. Reading previous answers it seems we need to remove the sparkplug, insert a bit of rope gently in to block the motor and once blocked the nut on the fan/impeller can be undone.
I'm going to give this a try on mine. Recommend we both proceed with caution, mate!
Good luck!

Same thing here after i did my neigbours yard!!!! i found out it was the switch the latch that moves it wont I am trying to work a away round it hope this helps

I've had the same problem at work with troybuilt leafblowers. It eventually turns off as you use it yeah? It could be a little flooded and the engine isn't getting enought air. Find out where the carbeurator is, take it off, dump out the excess fuel, and spray out with WD-40 or carb and choke cleaner, make sure there's not a lot of excess fluid left and then try it. I've seen and old guy try it on a lawnmover I had that kept doing the same thing, and it fixed it just like "that".

go to Dewaltservicenet.com and in the middle of the page under need manual type in your model number click on the link for type 2 there is no online manual for the type 1. the manual is 5 pages long.

We have the exact same iron doing the exact same thing... NOBODY has a soluntion... Black and Decker support can't help either, so... best solution is to take it back where you bought and tell them it's a piece of **** and go somewhere else to buy a different one!
