Hold the pole upright with maximum extension until you transfer it to your painting area. Hold towards the center bottom area of the pole as close as you can to the top of each portion for a balanced application. Stand next to the wall and softly lean the pole to the wall area to begin painting.

Once the roller makes contact with the wall, you'll be able to adjust your grip and step back from the wall to commence painting comfortably. While you're painting, support the extension in the center and bottom for the best control. The extension pole may be too top or bottom-heavy if you are using it incorrectly. Guarantee correct placement for optimum result.

If you want to loosen or tighten the collet locking mechanism or the chuck, merely hold the pole beneath the collet and unlock or lock the extension part you want to adjust.

You can destroy the pole if you over-tighten the chuck therefore adjust carefully.

Ensure that the poles are free from paint or product that can build up in the slide. If any paint does get onto the pole, wash it off before it dries and hardens. Use a moist rag for latex paint cleaning or a thinner rag close by for oil-based products. Before you decide to adjust the pole, be certain no paint thinner or water is staying in the collet and the chuck. Collapse the pole to its’ minimum self for convenient storage. Unite your extension pole with a standard length paint handle roller for maximum results. A long-handled paint roller is not recommended for use with the extension pole.
