My prior planer's handwheel would move a little if the knob side of the wheel was anywhere except bottom dead center. I had a bungie cord attached to a ceiling joist above the handwheel. I would plane in 1/3rd turn increments. The handwheel had a three spoke design, so that I could attach the bungie hook on three different locations.
That is sort of funny to me, since I did a similar thing with the ridgid planer this one replaced. All was fine, with the bungee in place, a bit of a PITA, but once I was used to it, it was no big deal.
