Straw braid sewing zigzag machines advice

I have recently acquired two straw braid machines; both made by Grossman , one Dresdenia and one Anita B (pictured below). The Anita B (zigzag) has a adjustable guide which has in my case two dials one horizontal (cylinder) and one vertical (wheel) - pictured below .
Anybody knows what are the dials for (I cannot see what they are doing, mine might be incapacitated).
Many thanks,
George

Well, mystery of the dials is solved. It looks they are there for a finer additional guide (almost never bought or used) (see the pic). As for the manual, I would love one, but never seem or heard about one in existence.

Sorry for reviving an old thread!

George, does the Anita B do straight stitches as well? I might have an opportunity to get one myself. I currently have a Dresdenia B. What machine do you prefer using?
