I found....

I have found that when I don't have a manual for something, I can do a "Bing" search, (my favorite search engine), and type the name of the product in with the keyword "manual". In your case you may need to add the keyword "english". I have always gotten results that way. This is a very old product, so may or may not get the results. By the way, the machine is a real beauty.

I can't help you with your question, but wanted to say that it's a beautiful machine and cabinet once you get it cleaned up. Contact Billy on the vintage topic. Glad you rescued it and what a great price.

It has the bobbin case and even the leather belt and wheel. I am hoping we can get her fixed up and usable again.
She belonged to someone's "ex" M-I-L and was brought over in 1966 when she died. She had been stored none to carefully or gently in a garage (or perhaps an outside shed).
The cabinet/table is oak and seems to be original to the machine. It, too, needs some TLC.
Anyone familiar with this brand, Haid & Neu? (I did read it was taken over by Singer in 1958) Any advice on refurbishing it?
These photos were taken at the time of rescue!
Thanks,

You could type the instruction and use a translator (I do this when I buy something from a store and the instructions are in another language) I go into google and look for translation websites. It should give you a general idea on how to run machine.
