For future reference, it's a selector switch, not a "safety knob". Yes, there should be a set screw on each selector switch.

According to the manual, you want to go buy a pair (package, why not?) of metric M3x4 set screws.

Put them in with a tiny little dab of locktite 222 (milky purple color). That keeps them from coming out on their own, but you can still remove them when you need to. Don't use locktite 242 (blue) or locktite 271 (red) or you'll never get them out again.

Or you can use nail polish in the colour of your choice. Seriously, it works! :tup:
