Good tip! You should be able to find a free manual online. This will help you a lot. I always make sure they are cleaned and oiled before I start using them. And yes, I use them. I had to have one of the foot pedals rewired -- it was badly frayed.
Love my Featherweight! I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine!
