Does anyone know how to get the screw that goes into the side of the head that tightens the clamp in place? I lost mine the second time I used it.

go to a hardware store with the grip and they be able to match the size and threads.

If you are talking about installation I always push the bottom part into the hole then push the top cap down. For removal I have pretty much always had to pry the head up which oftentimes just broke the clip. I just always used new clips. I rarely reuse one.

I haven't had that problem since mine screws on and stays on till I take it off. If the design hasn't changed and the black tip still screws on, I would exchange it. That sounds like the threads aren't holding it in.

I'm not sure I understand your question. When it was time to put the handle back on, I positioned it so that it was facing the right direction, then turned the base to tighten. If you are referring to the tool - it's not threaded and works both ways.

I actually just used the last one I ordered yesterday and I discovered the same issue. The previous one I had from a few years ago did screw on (the tip), but this newer one does not. Looks identical. So far for me I cannot see it being a big deal, but I do hope they change it back so the tip will screw on for a more secure fit.

Mine is not loose now, but I think it was when it came in. There are various screws, find the ones that attach the parts that are loose, and tighten them. Hope that helps,

Notice the hex cap in the middle. that is a small wrench to adjust tension on the leg locking devises. I had one leg that was still a little loose and that wrench fixed it up just fine. Just pull it off the leg to use it. It has the added advantage of probably breaking if you try to over tighten the nut. I did have a problem with the swivel head. The portrait/landscape swivel bracket's knob to lock it tight allowed to still wiggle slightly no matter how hard the knob was tightened down. Talked to Lee at customer service and he sent me a new head immediately. Didn't even ask for the old head back. Excellent response, but I haven't received it yet to see if it had the same problem or not. It looks like a good product for the price but I wouldn't want to carry it very far. Good luck with it, Dan

You should be able to tighten that clamp. To do this, first unclamp it, then turn the knob on opposite end of clamp clockwise. Then try clamping it again. You should be able to turn that knob with your hands, if not you can use pliers.

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.

Get a screwdriver and really get in there, it'll tighten! Just took a lil more than a few twists.

Make sure you're trying to turn the collar only... its right hand thread so turn counter clockwise as you're looking at the tip head on... try wrapping a rag around the collar and use a channel lock style pliers

There is a socket head set screw on the under side of the barrel near where the hinge is . You loosen that screw and swap the barrel there is a flat side on the barrel that the set screw locks into. I would recommend going to auto parts store and purchase a small bottle of Blue Loctite to place a drop on the set screw to keep it from vibrating loose.

I think Mr. Hernandez meant the black clamp lever in the back of the saw. I found the answer we needed before he posted by reading all of the comments from other users. The trick was that you to turn the clamp lever in the reverse direction (counter-clockwise) than normal. I kept telling my husband to try counter-clockwise but he insisted that one ALWAYS tightens clamps or screws clockwise. Not this time. By the way, he loves the saw. Good luck.

I put an o ring on the screws on my head band soon as I got it,for that very reason. I don't know why they don't just put them on like the other big brands do but it works better with it. I haven't replaced mine yet but I was told miller head gear fits

Looks like there are 4 small Philips screws under the top cap you might try that first ,but the big question is can you buy replacement parts? or will you need to place the head.

I need replacement clamps for mine but have had no success on-line. Let me know if you locate a supplier

I wish I could help you..don't recall having that problem! Carefully examine the buttons that you depress to rotate it. But I'm at a loss as to the screw.
