Begin by removing the attachment screw at the base of the handle with a screwdriver. Then, pull the handle away from the crank stud, allowing you to examine the spline underneath it and the teeth within the crank-handle grip. You can often fix worn teeth by replacing the handle (available at hardware stores and home centers as well as full-service stores), but when the spline has been stripped or the gears are damaged then you'll need to replace the entire operator, advises All About Doors and Windows.
To remove the crank arm from the window guide track, slide the arm out until the plastic guide bushing at the end of the arm is aligned with the track's notch (you might require locking pliers). Next, loosen the trim screws that hold the casement cover. Remove it with a putty knife or a screwdriver. Look for rusted trim screws and replace them with fresh ones. Finally, attach the crank arm and cover to the window jamb by lining up the new crank using the old holes--if the holes in the screws are stripped, stick one or two toothpicks into them to fill in the holes and then drive the screws.
Slide the new bushing on the arm into notch on the window track then place the handle over the crank stud and insert the attachment screw to ensure it is secured. Now, you can open your window to take in the cool summer breeze. Don't forget to be proud of your work and be aware that you are able to fix any problem!
