Mounting the attachment pipe
CAUTION:
Always check that the attachment
pipe is secured after installation. Improper instal-
lation may cause the attachment falling off from the
power unit and cause personal injury.
Mount the attachment pipe to the power unit.

NOTICE:
Do not dispose of the cap since the cap
is necessary for storing the attachment.
2.
Turn the lever toward the attachment.
► Fig.8: 1. Lever
3.
Align the pin with the arrow mark on the power
unit. Insert the pipe until the release button pops up.
Make sure that the position line is on the tip of the arrow
mark on the power unit, and the arrow mark on the power
unit and the arrow mark on the pipe are facing each other.
