inches or 50-100 mm), and use a sweeping action to
collect light debris (Fig. 16). The debris will flow into the
vacuum bag. Items such as small leaves and small twigs
will be mulched as they pass through the fan housing,
allowing the vacuum bag to hold more debris.
When the bag is full, suction will noticeably decrease.

the contents before continuing.
