Removing a Tool Attachment
1. With the unit on a clean, flat sur-
face, loosen the coupler screw knob.
The spring-loaded coupler protector
should pop up.
2. Press down on the latch with your
finger or thumb. This releases the
coupler lock. See Figure 6.
3. Pull the tool assembly out of the
coupler.
CAUTION!
Keep the open ends of the tubes
clean and free of impurities!
2. Slip off the protective covers from
the ends of both tubes, and loosen
the coupler screw knob.
3. Insert the upper tube assembly
into the coupler, with the tool decal
facing up, until the line of the decal
is flush with the end of the coupler.
Twist the tool back and forth until
you are sure it snaps in place by the
coupler latch. See Figure 4.
4. When the two tube halves are
locked together, press down on the
spring-loaded latch protector and
tighten the coupler screw knob.
