For the simplest access, grasp the pole vertically when using the optimum extension until it's close to the surface you'll be painting.

Securing and loosening the chuck or the collet locking mechanism is straightforward. Conveniently hold the pole underneath the collet and lock or unlock the extension segment you want to slide. Adjust the chuck till the sliding pole stops moving. Try to slide the pole post chuck tightening to see if it will hold. You can damage the pole if you over-tighten the chuck so adjust diligently.

Keep your extension pole pure from paint debris accumulating inside of the slide. Wash any paint off the extension while you work so that it doesn’t get hard or dry. Use a moist rag for latex paint clean up or a thinner rag nearby for oil-based products. Ensure the chuck and pole and collet are dry from thinner and water ahead of adjusting. For simple storage, collapse the extension to its smallest size. For preferred results with the extension pole, use standard-sized paint handle rollers. A long-handled paint roller is not recommended for use with the extension pole.
