Ryobi Table saw raising handle

[Ralphus16]

Apologies in advance if this is the wrong section.

My Ryobi ETS1525SC stopped rising up and down.

Took it apart and looks like in my stupid attempt to force fix it I've bent done washers.

Does anyone have any experience with what washer needed and how to fix?

Long shot I know but the saw still works other than this turning handle problem.

Thanks in advance

It's too late in this case, but one needs to be aware, that with modern equipment. force, is not an option,

At the slightest hint of resistance "one" needs to stop, clean, free and lubricate the parts.

Took a punt and a bought some e clips.

Seems to have done the trick

Give it a good clean out and lubricate with a dry lubricant.

Keep on top of sawdust too.
