KXPD1 screw

[Jeremiah McCarthy]

I would not use a lock washer, I would use a flat washer...A lock washer is intended to permanently anchor a nut or screw..(bolt ?)The sharp edges on it bite into the metal...In the case of the KXPD1 paddle, the body of the paddle is aluminum, a relatively soft metal...Since the paddle will most likely removed and re-attached often, the lock washer would gradually chew it's way into the body of the paddle, eventually defeating it's purpose as a spacer and marring the paddle...

>Thanks to all that helped me with this issue...

My final solution was to add a #6 lock washer (this was almost enough) then
to carefully disk the end of the knerled Bolt (the group seems to call it aq
screw) with a drummel..

Dah Dah it is fixed...

Thank you all agian

What I did was to put a couple small drops "Liquid Electrical Tape" on the
paddles around the screw on the side that goes against the KX1 case and
after it dried well there was no more slipping when attached.
