How to use the black plastic thing???

Put one end into a pegboard hole, place it across a hook (that is in the pegboard) and then put the other end in a pegboard hole. The black plastic thing holds a hook firmly in place so that when you take a tool from it, the hook does not move.

I'm trying to figure that out too! A video would be nice. The step-by-step instructions aren't clear.

Pull the metal top straight up from the plastic base. I had to play with it also to figure out!

My husband "assembled" this for me. He used the black band to hold down the blue cap-thing - he put the black band around the outside of the unit near the top. Agreed - the manual is not helpful. There are a lot of DON'Ts in the manual and then eight photos of what to do.

I had the same problem. I googled it and got a video that demonstrates how to do it. (It's very hard to describe without a video/photo.)

You can use any super thin piece of hard plastic. Or even a toothpick. Start at an edge and gently lift up. Eventually it will pop off in pieces. It's scary, but it works.

Twist the Black thing. When you are going to use take it out. When you finish put it back. If is too hard to put the drop of thermal compound, put the syringe inside a zipploc bag, close it and warm the bag with hot water for a while, 1 min if it too hot the water. It makes more ease to use.

Use a black plastic spudger like you use to open phones and tablets. Hook the cup over the first retaining flange, then use the spudger at the dips (where the flanges aren't) to ease the cup over the remaining three flanges. if you don't have a spudger get a few. They're real cheap on a well known auction site, and handy for all kinds of little things.

I'm sorry but I cannot help you...I have yet been able to figure out how to use it. It sits there gathering dust.

Put the plastic piece on first, it is 2 pieces that snap together. The black silicon goes on next. Ours had a piece of plastic still on it where the on/off button is. We removed it and the case works great. So, you have to take it apart to put it on. Hope this helps!

Hi Linda,The black plastic is a "T" filter housing. One end is a blank cap for filter changing, one end connects to your water source, and the last one is the outlet for filtered water to the misting system.

Hi I recently ordered this product and to answer your question you would have to order the black plastic if yours is damaged, if not then you can use your existing one.

On the top of a Smart Phone or a lot of cellphones, there is a little "hole". Plug the black plastic piece into that. I hope this helps.

open the round cap on the bottom....it's hard so use a screw driver or something else.....fill with water or sand (i used water,cheaper and equally efffective)...put cap back on.....also its heavy so have the base close to wherever it's going to be...good luck

Use the edge of a coin, twist the central plastic part of the blade clockwise to undo (opposite from normal), it pops out, you can then take the blade out holding it between thumb & forefinger - simply wash under running tap, dab dry with kitchen cloth, replace central black plastic centre & twist anti clockwise to tighten ( again opposite to normal) - hope this makes sense

All of the previous answers are correct. Simply snap on black nozzle with paperclip retainer.

According to the instructions, you grasp the black base of the attachment (not the far end near the beater) and give it a yank. I just tried it on mine and it works. Hold the attachment by the black plastic part as close to the metal insertion point as you can and pull it. The motion is very similar to pulling a Christmas cracker. Keep the whole device (handle and attachment) straight. It should come out after giving a little resistance. You might be afraid you are going to break it, but you won't - unless of course you use something like pliers or bending it. Give it a smooth but firm yank and it should yield.
