HINT:

Select a washer which can be pressed in 2/3 of the full amount with your finger.

Standard backlash:

0.10 to 0.20 mm (0.00394 to 0.00787 in.)

If the backlash is not within the specification, adjust it by either increasing or decreasing the thickness of the washers on both sides by an equal amount.
