I didn't receive the violet attachment. Do you just push the attachment into the machine? I don't want to break it but I was confused it said screw?

Mine didn't have a screw end but rather a sort of bullet end so I just carefully push it into the slot.

I have been having the same problem. I was thinking it was missing a part on the end of the nozzle that the attachments attach to, if that makes sense. Good to know others have got it to work. I'll keep trying.

Frankly, it took me a few trys (and maybe a couple of dirty words!) to figure this out. The larger attachment with the smaller end fits on the wand of my vac. I then take the clear rubber hose and put the end w/o the black adapter on the small end of that. Then any of the little tools will fit on the black adapter of the clear hose. I got this to vac my sewing machine out after a big project and really like it. I think it does a great job! (with and without dirty words!)

I did not get any attachments with mine, however, I do know that there a number of attachments available. I would to ARY VacMaster's web site http://vacmaster.aryvacmaster.com/cgi/ary.wsc/vacmaster_index

Look at this http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=myuO863XT08Start At time 5 minute it shows the way to attach the cutter to the machine. Hope this helps. Good luck.

The assembly that I got has two halves snapping one over another, i.e. no screw at all. Needed one with the screw as well and was disappointed. Contacted vendor and was told that this is the only version they have. Hope it helps.

Hi Nana. Stubborn little thing isn't it? When I first tried it, I thought " Wow! This thing ain't right!", but it's just made that way. I assume that's because the assembly has a slight spring pressure that keeps it from coming apart before you're ready. There are two small "nubs" on the shaft of the orange plastic assembly that prevent the thing from just coming apart. You need to exert a little more force and it comes right out. I wouldn't use pliers or a screwdriver...well maybe a screwdriver (extra vodka please !)... but not a mechanical device. I hope this helps you out. ( It seems to come out easier each consecutive time.) Have a great day. Tony

Hi, sorry, I didn't see this question. I'm not sure what you mean the screw is stuck. We have a good how to video at vimeo.com/68656159. At what point in the video is the screw stuck for you?

That is the machine I have. They get stuck. Out if 4 I have two remaining that I did not have forceably remove from the machine. I don't use them anymore because I fear breaking my machine

To the best of my knowledge this screws in exactly where the canisters attach. If your canisters are no longer going in I think you need to determine the cause of that problem first. Just my opinion.

You need to tighten the two Philips screws which secure the handle to the body. It shouldn't detach as long as it's screwed properly.The left side of the back of the vacuum has a clear looking port for one end of the hose, the wider end. The gray part on the hose attaches to that port and you screw it to the right to secure it. The other end of the hose (narrower black end) gets wrapped around the back of the vacuum (there's a little "arm" like thing that it loops over) and then stuck into the hole on the bottom right of the back. When you want to use the hose you take that end out and stick any attachments onto it. You need to tighten the two Philips screws which secure the handle to the body.

Hi kitkat....please describe how you are trying to do this...? the right tool for the right job...I just looked at my fan trying to understand your frustration...so describe the screwdriver you are using

Do you mean the leaf trap? The pump, motor and leaf trap are all combined in one big unit. I believe what you need is the plastic slotted screw that goes at the base of the leaf trap. My recommendation would be to bring it to a hardware store and have them give you a screw with the correct thread pattern and wrap teflon tape around it. If push comes to shove, i have them, E mail me and I'll send one to you. :)

O.k. Thanks! I'll try that tonight. I saw that short knob and I keep messing with it, but nothing is happening. I think I'm not doing it right though so I'll try again and maybe get someone to help me. When I jiggle and pull the knobit, do I pull on the base of the machine at the same time? Just making sure I understand what to do here. Thanks again!

No there is no place to attach the extra tools on the handle or the vacuum itself. You would have to come up with your own creative way of connecting them. Hope this helps. Awesome vacuum by the way!
