Apparently you need to tighten the nut holding the backing plate on?
Contact someone about a warranty replacement backing plate, in fact Powerhouse sells extra backing plates (I got an extra) and should honor the warranty since they are only 1 of 2 master distributors in the US for FLEX tools.
Email them!
