Don't know if this will help much, but this is how I use one of the Sig Handles.

I modified it's center into a post for trimming, and threaded 90 feet (in this case) of yellow Spiderwire through it. I used the middle holes as they are the best all-around for my flying, and also cut a notch inside for my arthritic middle finger knuckle.

I have a great setup for the Sig handle. Gotta go, but will post a pic and description later today.

Just saw Kim's post. made my adjuster in the center and hung a line on it during an 8. Moved it to the side and never had a problem. Wait for my follow up and pick whichever method you like best. I had no use for that little ring thingy.

This is how it normally works. Flat side of the washer pinches the line when you tighten the screw

Cribbs' is better than mine. As usual I over complicated it.

Here's mine next to the parts I used to make the adjuster thimble that has a few inches of line wrapped around it:

That's tennis racket tape wrapped around it. With Sig fuel my hands get too slippery.

geeze im all nervouse now!!! lol!

Tighten the screw just enough to secure the line, but not so much that you need a screwdriver to adjust the line. This way with a gently but forceful pull you can adjust the line, although typical adjustment is only about 1/4 inch for me.

I get nervous before every excursion. It doesn't go away until I pick up the handle the first time. I always wonder if the other guys get nervous before an outing too. I was nervous before I flew today.

Right, and make sure the smooth side of the washer is pinching the line. Some washers have a sharp ridge on the edge of one side. With my thimble method you can just add or remove a wrap from around the post to adjust the length.
