INSTRUCTIONS FOR FITTING A COMPOSITUBE REPLACEMENT HANDLE

Fitting:
- You can fit a tool blade on to a Compositube handle with a screw through the hole in the blade provided for the purpose. Drilling a hole does not weaken the handle.
- Place the end of the handle in the tool blade socket.
- Make sure that the handle is properly seated in the socket.
- Hold the tool vertically, blade side up and tap the other end firmly on the ground. Repeat this action until the blade is fully bedded on to the handle.
- Check that the end of the handle is sufficiently far into the socket, so that the hole is over the handle.
- Drill a 2.5mm hole, 20mm deep through the hole in the tool blade.
- Insert a 4 x 16mm or 4 x 20mm screw fully into the handle.

Warning: Do not use a nail to secure the handle: You risk breaking the handle.
