Me too. The hand is very hard steel with a sharp edge, it widens the frame slot over time on the right hand edge. I would never cut metal off the frame. hand costs about $10, frame cost is....? guess which one gets filed.
Shave the hand lightly on the left upper edge if it binds passing by the ratchet until you have just enough clearance.
