I am having trouble attaching the handle. Is there a trick to it?

That sounds like you should send it bac to the manufacturer. It was assembled when I received it. I use mine every day at work. I love it.

You might need to tighten the handle somewhat on your own, when you take it out of the box. Just use a basic screwdriver. It has not been a problem for me since doing this.

The handle was already attached, i haven't tried to remove it. if you did remove it, you would have a gapinghole at the top.

I suppose you could tie a long string around the handle and drop it in. Or drill a hole in the handle and use a chain. But personally would call the company, they are very responsive and may have some better ideas. They seem to be very consumer oriented and are always looking to improve their products.

Answer here..I have been using mine quite regularly and my handle does not need to be constantly tightened. You might want to try a drop or two of glue to hold it securely.

I had the *exact* same issue. I learned by tapping the unit on the side until the handle jiggles up and down makes it much easier to then simply lift the handle off the top.**UPDATE Fe b 20th** Nevermind, it has now become almost impossible to remove the handle. I now loathe trying to remove the top since it could take anywhere from 3 minutes - 10 minutes... along with a bruised palm of my hand.

Just pull HARD! I thought I was missing part of the instructions, because the handle would not easily open and had to google this myself. Just pull HARD. It won't break, but you think it's going to.

Mine didn't initially want to go on, but I pressed down on it, hard, and screwed it in place at the same time. Two things, make sure that you tighten it in a clockwise direction looking down on it, and firmly grasp the section just below where you're screwing the end cap on so that you don't accidentally bow or break the handle. I hope that's of some help.

Stand on the material (strands) then pull the handle up until it releases. I have already broken one because I did not do it correctly. Good luck!

There is a rigid plate on the inside of the handle. Pull it to the side and push the blade down

The handle of mine just screwed into the head. If yours won't so that, there may be a problem with it.

I just took apart mine. There's two screws on the sides for the bottom section, two on top in the handle and one on the bottom on the bottom section. Takes those out then just force it apart. It's hard to force apart, but that's the only way.Sorry for the year late reply

The handle comes as a separate piece that has to be attached with 2 screws from inside the door. There are mounting holes in the door for attaching the handle.

If you follow directions it should attach to the handle. Please see the back of the package with instructions

Where the handle attaches to the shaft is a thumb screw. Loosen that and adjust the lever under that. It's easy.

the directions I found said to stand on the strands and tip the mop handle to the side...................NO NO. I broke the handle. My dear husband is trying to get it glued back together but I'm thinking it will need to be a new handle. I will try the screw driver next time. Thanks
