I should read the manual too, because I learned some things while I was scanning it. In particular that the blades should be locked before the saw is turned on.

And don't torque the lock knobs (height and angle) really tight. Firm tightening, but not super tight. You'll learn and get the feel for sufficient tightening. With my older '81 saw, the "tightening" of the heigth knob has worn, a bit, probably from over tightening.

Three finger firm tightening, if this defines my experience, reasonably.

Agreed, My saw height wheel will spin during operation if the handle is
near the top and on the left side of center. It is the weight of the
handle that makes it come down. Not on the right side because that also
raises the assembly.
Any way I find tight enough so that the wheel does not turn on its own.
