Having trouble with the thumb screw and trying to align with the groove on the internal pole. Screw won't tighten at all.

It requires some work. You need to take front cage off then place fan blade over the post then there is a cap that goes on but it is counter threaded so spin it op of a normal screw. If this doesn't work please email more

My thumbscrew was on tight. I used a pair of pliers to get it started unscrewing.

We had the same trouble. It took about 5 tries to get them in the right position. The position of the arm assembly is critical when the center nut is secured. Sounds easy, but drives a person crazy. I really don't know what happened , we just kept changing the secure position until, VOILA! they were in sync. Sorry , wish we could be more helpful. If you can , pick a Saturn mechanics brain.

most likely it has to do with the way the poles fit into the bottom fitting. Sounds like they are rocking on the thumb push - try switching the top and bottom poles - that worked for me.

It is a little tricky. It is most easily performed with the pole completely collapsed. I screw the base on from the bottom, holding the pole above with the other hand. Getting the threads to match up may take several attempts. I can usually get it on no problem, although there have been a few occasions where i timed out on my frustration limit and had to come back to it O.o My girlfriend has much difficulty attaching it. As for mine, there is no error in manufacture, rather, just a tricky connection. Assuming your threads have been properly machined, you should be able to get it with some practice. Good luck, Dalton

try "jiggling" the bottom metal piece while you're tightening it. also, hand-tightening is not enough...you should be using a wrench or ratchet

I think you may have assembled it wrong by using some of the wrong hardware. When I assembled and tightened to a firm snug level, they adjust perfectly. I would re-evaluate the pieces you have used

Mine were on VERY tight, I ended up using a butterknife to pry the edges away so it would slide. My thumbs hurt, but we were finally able to move the screw caps.

Ours was half in and half out and the screw wouldn't turn. I called and they're sending a replacement. Hope it works.

I had the same problem. What I found was it has to be perfectly straight in line and go slow. If I went to fast I had to use another drill to drive the screws all the way in. Also the drill bit does not always stay locked into place on mine.

Don't tighten the screws all the way until you have them all in. Just thread the screws enough to hold in place. Good luck.

I had a similar issue after about the first week; there are couple of set screws (2 in each I believe) in each of the mounts that you can tighten. It worked for me. I hope this helps.

Take a screw driver and slightly bend the metal flange in between the farm so that it aligns with the blade when open. If that doesn't work I gues you need trend it back

put lock tight on the screws and let dry per directions, mine have not been loose since. you have to put it on correctly or it will not work.

mine looks as it should screw off but it would not when I tried to. I will post a picture

Hi PD, have you tried adjusting the center bit with the included Allen wrench? Also what seems to be the problem?

Take the screw cap completely off and stretch out the metal piece that the bits fit into. Then it should be ok.
