Is the piece that holds the weight is supposed to move freely? It is so tight I cannot get it on very far...

Are you referring to the piece that slides up and down the square upright tubing? If yes, insure the plastic bushing is installed right and that you have sprayed the silicone on the tubing.Are you referring to the pegs on which you actually place the weights on? or the clamp that goes on it?It is very important that you refer to the parts identification page to insure that you have installed the part in the right place.

Pretty tight, doubt the rocking motion can move the hinges. You also have the option of tightening it yourself.

It will move around and that's by design given it sits on a ball point. The only way for it to fall off is by force. You may have gotten a defective unit. I'd return it and try another one if you want. Just make sure you carefully take it out of the package especially the part with the tipHope this helps.

It is just a little tight. I think with use it will loosen up. My grandson does not seem to be having any trouble with it.

Yes but it's very tight. Mine seemed like they weren't going to and I had to force it to get it on.

It's pretty tight. I used the supplied sticky tabs and also used the screws so it doesn't move. I like it and would buy again . It was tough for me too because it wasn't cheap but I'm glad I bought it.

It has a minimum tension only, it still requires some effort, like you were using about a 5 lb weight.It was also easier when I held it out at arms length, and used your other hand to stabilize it.I haven't set it any higher and it's been a couple of months.

Yes. Give it a wiggle back and forth while pulling on it. It's set in tight. Enjoy...

Its supposed to just "sit" on the chair, and it can be a little loose, however it generally does not move around when I sit on it, and I've never had an issue of it sticking to my legs as I try to stand up

Well it is supposed to be tight, but good luck trying to tighten it. If you just got this saw I would return it. I am a shop teacher and bought two of these for my middle school class. I have never seen a more terribly built saw. I returned both for partial credit.

Ours does lock. Twist it around until it falls into place. It shouldn't move.

Hi Paris,It takes a bit of force. Mine is very tight too and I was frightened of breaking it but if you just turn it with a bit of force it will shift.

You start fairly tight and adjust. Too tight and it will not slide loosing all effectiveness. Too loose and you will have sway.

Yes, it will not move an inch! I love it. Just wish it wasn't so overpriced, not to mention the shipping!

Ours isn't tight by any means: it shifts several millimeters. But the construction keeps the slip pretty well in check, and I don't remember having any problems with it in use.
