- Attach the vibrating head to the other end of the flexible shaft.
- Apply a small amount of pipe thread sealant (Red Loctite 271) to the flexible shaft casing coupling threads.
- Screw the head tightly onto the flexible shaft casing and wait one hour before use. Threads are left-handed; turn counterclockwise to tighten.
