Screws falling out of Sweepy 2.0 locking mechanism

Just wanted to find out if others are finding that the screws become loose on the Sweepy 2.0 during cutting operations?

Since it’s a cam mechanism, it’s usually a matter of adjusting the bolts so that they nut is positioned so that things are held securely — I try to remember to check mine each time I remove/replace it and at the start of each working session as part of the checklist:

I have not installed mine yet, but maybe a small dab of locktite blue on the end of the bolt will keep the nut from backing off?
