Need a Manual for Kenmore 19110 or Janome 115110 Problems with machine refusing to stitch

They are the same machine. I bought one off E-Bay and gave it to my friend's daughter. I don't have a manual for the machine. The machine is giving her an error message of LO and refusing to stitch. She has looked for any thread tangles and can't find any. I am 55 miles away so not much help.

Turn off and wait - turn on in about 30 seconds. BUT, make sure feed dogs are up, no thread caught in anywhere. I would leave it off until I had taken out the bobbin, rethreaded the machine and checked the bobbin, and maybe put in a new bobbin. The manual also says under Lo to check that you haven't got the bobbin thingie over in the wind-a-bobbin-place. Hope this all helps. Maybe the needle is dulled or bent as well. Don't try to stitch until all avenues have been explored. -- Edited on 7/21/12 9:41 PM -- ------ "Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." --Dalai Lama I have sewing machines

So that could be a thread tangle. Or anything jamming it up. If the fly wheel and the race and just everything really turn just very easy and fine and effortlessly though, when only even fly wheel turned by hand though, then maybe not, and maybe it has an some kind of electrical kind of problem instead?
