This machine was also donated to our micro business with refugees. It came without a manual. When I tried using it I was able to sew for a short time and then the thread would become tangled or something and it would stop sewing. I would rethread the machine and it would sew again for a short time and then do the same thing again. I thought I might just have it threaded incorrectly, but could there be another problem? Can you help me with proper threading?

There is an email link also that they could most likely put you in touch with who could help you.
The actual service manual is on this page but is not free:

I have checked several sites for just the "User's manual" and like you have come up empty handed.
I did find a site that has a new one for sale. Possibly you could contact them and ask for a photocopy of the users manual.
