I managed to learn to cast on fromthe instruction book that came with it (though it's always been a hitand miss operation at the best of times). There are different methodsand I'd recommend a "manual" approach to get started with. Your locallibrary may still have some books on machine knitting that can help. Ihave a very general one that lists instructions for all kinds ofmachines.
This is not for your specific machine but may help:

luck! VP
Dillion (and anyone else who may be interested), If you go to the Brother site in Canada, you can download a digital copy of the manual for your machine. It may not be a perfect copy, but it could help you get started.
