semblies fit end to end. The M242
assembly should be facing up, and the
tool assembly should be positioned
with the locking hole in the tube end
facing up. See Figure 4.

Removing a Tool Attachment
1. With the unit on a clean, flat surface,
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 debris!
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. See Figure 5.
