Installing a Tool Attachment

1.  Place the M242 Multipurpose Tool 

Carrier and the Tool Assembly on 

a clean, flat surface so that both as-

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.
