This press has a very tight spot when pulling the handle down about half way and in the same spot on the way back up. Any ideas to free it up?

check to see if tou mounted it to close to the top of the bench.this can cause linkage to bind.

Does this happen without any brass? If so it may be that the press linkage bolts are too tight loosen them 1/4 turn. If it happens while you are running brass through your resizing die then you need to apply a thin coat of case lube to your brass. Even the tungsten carbide dies need a little lube on the brass occasionally. The tight spots are normal as your resizing the brass so basically you are bending metal and that takes a bit of pressure.

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.

check your hand hold maybe pushing release slightly letting mag loosen or drop out i have done this

I can move pot handle only left off center too. You probably use too fine grinded coffee. Try grind it more coarse.

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

No, if you pull the handle to the out position, it should lock in place until you push the button to release it! If this is happening, I would send it back for a replacement.

I think the press you have may be defective. My press does not wiggle at all. It is solid. I hope this helps. :-)

Hi Sam, I had a similar situation with mine. I noticed it was getting a little loose. I opened the jaws of the pliers all the way and placed the head of the rivet on my vise and used a large centerpunch and "re-peened" the rivet. Since it is a stainless steel rivet it worked very well and hasn't loosened back up since then. You just need to make sure the centerpunch diameter is large enough so it won't just hit the center of the rivet. Hope that helpedKevin

Are you talking about the long handle or the short, cross-wise handle? If your long handle is loose, twist the ring that you would hang it from, at the end of the handle, clockwise to tighten it. Mine was loose as well. You might have to stick something through the ring to get enough leverage, unless you're an Amazon!

I wedged some paper between grill and box frame on two sides, just less than 1/4 inch. That seemed to push the grill away from the blade enough. Maybe that will help. The loosening of the screws sounds good too.

The handle collapses or extends as you twist it. You need to have some muscle to do it so you may have to have someone assist. The best place to grip it is near where the silver part meets the blue part. also tightens there. Good Luck.

Mine has gotten a little tight. I try to put sicon spray on it. The crank can get messed up if yiu crank it past the 10ft mark or crank it lower than the lowest setting. Try to avoid that

There is a small ratchet type device with a tightening screw in it right where your right thumb should be. Squeeze the handles and flip the ratchet to the right and it is no longer locked! Flip it back when you finish. It loosens up somewhat after use.

Mine is sometimes hard to push. Holding the handle at a lower angle to push it helps. Putting a new cleaner clothe (or whatever they call it) on helps also. I don't find it a big problem. I guess I have strong arms. I like my mop. Hope this helps.

Mine had a small plastic piece shoved in near one of the holes from the front. Hold the punch down and pull this piece of plastic out and it will release.

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.

You're lifting the handle too far. Lift it slowly to acquire the amount of pressure you desire. Also, if you have the 2 nozzle version, switch to the other setting to see which feels better to you.
