Owner's manual

The Xtender™ Handle is an adjustable length
handle that is compatible with all of the 7”,
10” & 12” (175, 250, & 300mm) Flat, EasyClean®
and Power Assist® boxes. The strongest and longest
adjustable brake handle available. This versatile tool
replaces 2-3 standard brake handles.
Operation
The Xtender™ handle attaches to boxes in the same manner as our box handles, with the wing nuts
provided on the boxes. Slide the connector plate on the Xtender™ handle onto the pressure plate of
the box, and tighten the wing nuts until the connection is secure.
The Xtender™ handle has a grip near the bottom end for controlling the brake. Squeezing the grip
locks the box in position, allowing the user to control the box when approaching the wall to start a
joint, or for “sweeping” the box off of the wall at the end of a joint.
Relaxing the pressure on the grip releases the brake, allowing the box to pivot freely.
The length of the Xtender™ handle can be adjusted by sliding the 2 telescoping sections in or out. A
locking mechanism is provided to hold the handle in each of its 4 positions. Press the release mecha-
nism to allow the sections to slide, which adjusts the length of the tool. The mechanism will automati-
cally catch in the next position. Continue the adjustment until the desired length is achieved.
The mechanism must be locked into one of the 4 notches on the inner telescoping section for the
brake to work properly. Do not try to operate the handle between any of the 4 positions.
Maintenance
Clean the handle thoroughly with water, using a brush or hose. When all joint compound is removed
from the tool, lubricate it lightly with Ames® Bazooka® Oil or any light machine oil.
