10.Releasing The Carriage
For safet
y purposes- releasing the carriage requires two actions. With your right hand, push down gently
on the carriage’s large “tear-drop” knob just enough to move the carriage down reach around with your
thumb and index finger and grasp the small round black knob and pull it out – gently lift up on the carriage
a small distance and THEN let go of the small round black knob and continue positioning the carriage
where you want it to be (you will want to move the carriage to the beginning of the first cut nearest the bow
of the key). See figure 12 below.
Note: You will not be able to pull on the small black knob by itself to release the carriage. You are
requi
red to push down on the carriage first-then pull out the small black knob to release the carriage.
