I know this post was awhile ago, but I haven't seen this in the replies. I
recently did my pto and noticed that the end point cap is hot. If you
touched the frame at all, it's shorted to ground. The procedure says to
use an insulated screwdriver. A metalic tool doesn't seem to throw the
freq off much, so I imagine that they tell you this to prevent shorting
the circuit to ground. I didn't have a non-ferrous tool so I used a
standard tweaker. I noticed it sparked a little if I hit the frame while
adjusting. A little heatshrink on the shaft should do the trick.

Hope this helps.
