If I remember correctly, there should be small metal clips that snap the two together.

The clips hold the lid on the canister.
The canister is held on the motor by a lever on the motor assembly. Once you find the lever and move it, you'll see how it connects to the canister.

Well actually it would be gravity holds it on the motor, a switch which is engaged with the same switch as the on for the motor engages both the safety lever that holds them together and engages the motor...
