I got a little spare time today so I went down to play with my machine ( it's not all togeather yet ) and remembered reading this post & think I came up with a no cost fix that seems to work.
Degrease the threads on the screw & the threads on the inside of the handle & let dry Put a drop of blue locktite on the first few threads on the screw Assemble the handle assy untill it is barely tight, then unscrew it just enough that the screw will turn freely in the hole then set the assembly aside untill the locktite sets up. DONE ! It you have the proper size thin nylon washer you could slide it on the screw before you do the above steps but it is not really needed.
