Start painting at the floor and move upwards along the wall. This can simplify using the extension and reduce the need to alter the extension length. The flexibility of painting with the pole at a variety of extensions makes any job easier.
Just holding the pole correctly will streamline your paint job. Grab the middle extension when carrying a fully extended pole. Concentrate on holding towards the last section where the lower pole fulfills the middle extension. This system creates less strain on the upper extensions and provides optimum delivery.When elevating and lowering the extension pole, use both hands for steady control.
Be sure not to push too hard while you are loading the roller with paint. Guide the roller gently allowing it to do the majority of the work for you.
During the paint loading process with an extension pole, grasp the final portion near the roller and the midsection as near to the bottom section that you can reach. This method enables you to secure support on the extension while you're loading the paint.
For the easiest access, hold the pole vertically while using the optimum extension until it is near the surface you will be painting. Grip the center and lower pole as near to the top of each section as you can. Gradually lean the pole towards the surface to begin painting after you place yourself close enough to the wall.
When the roller makes contact with the wall, you may adjust your grip and step back from the wall to commence painting comfortably. For ultimate control, hold the pole at the bottom and the center while you paint. Using an extension correctly relies on correct placement of the pole to stop it from being too bottom or top-heavy.
Tightening and loosening the chuck or the collet locking mechanism is not hard. Simply hold the pole underneath the collet and lock or unlock the extension portion you want to slide. Tighten the chuck until finally the pole that glides out stops travelling. Once you tighten the chuck, try to slide the pole even further to see if it stays in place. You can damage the pole if you over-tighten the chuck so adjust carefully.
Keep the poles really clean from paint or items that can hinder the slide. If any paint should get onto the pole, clean it off well before it dries and hardens. Have a paint thinner rag in the area for oil-based cleaning and a wet cloth to handle any latex cleanup. Before you adjust the pole, ensure no paint thinner or water is staying in the collet and the chuck. Collapse the pole to its’ minimum self for simple storage. Standard length paint handle rollers work together with the extension poles the best. A long-handled paint roller isn't really recommended to be used with the extension pole.
