    It seems to be not bad(with some limitations) but I stuck with one problem - can not enable power feeding. The handle which should enable cross or longitudinal feed seems to be locked in neutral position. I checked feeding with threading - it looks OK and saddle moves according to thread I selected. However , can't do anything with power feed - handle 8 in manual.
    If someone has this machine, please, shed a light - looks like I have overseen some trick or condition to enable power feed.

    Thanks.

    The handle is spring loaded.
    Slide to the right to disengage from the locking pin and then move either up or down. When new it is very stiff, so practice with the power off.
    Warning:
    When disengaging the feed, keep pressure on the handle to the left otherwise it is easy to slip past neutral into the other direction. Not nice!
