    Wavy Washers On Rail Lever

    Of the 4 rail locking levers on my BT3000 one has a wavy washer in place, the other 3 do not. This is the only lever that locks easily. I haven't checked my back up/parts saw yet (it's buried in the shed) to see how the levers are set up on it. Part #43 is the only washer listed in the manual parts breakdown for the locking lever and it shows to be a flat washer. Am I missing something in the manual or is this washer not supposed to be there? I bought the saw new so I know it hasn't been modified.

    Up to my left elbow with yard work, but give me some time and I’ll check my saws.

      I checked my parts/back up saw yesterday. Just flat washers all the way around. I'm going to have to try some adjustments on my saw or add some wavy washers.
