Possible Causes

Loose handle screws, worn handle pivot bushings, cracked handle mount, over-tightened causing plastic deformation.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the machine before tightening screws.

  • Tighten screws: Locate the handle mounting screws and tighten them evenly. Do not overtighten into plastic.
  • Inspect for cracks: Check the handle base and mounting points for visible cracks. Replace the handle assembly if damaged.
  • Pivot wear: If the handle still wobbles despite tight screws, the pivot bushings may be worn and require replacement.
