Too bad about the manual. Threading the machine (the top thread) is crucial and if your manual doesn't have good images of how to do that you are at a great disadvantage. Those of us who sew can usually look at a machine and figure out how to thread it but it is very difficult for those unfamiliar.
As Ani wrote, there are many causes for difficulty in getting the machine to sew.
Also, I've had machines that though the threads were loaded correctly, it would jam because it was dirty or needed oiling. When I do a lot of sewing, I take out the bobbin case and clean it all out and then oil the parts (per the manual...again, if yours is bad you've got a problem).
