Mine was wrapped around the base of the machine when I got it. You are right, I never would have known to look inside the case for it. I was given it with no instructions, so was just lucky to figure out what that big bar was for and how to put it into the machine to use it. Works very well. I love knee lever controls. I grew up with that.
