Loosen the two screws on the finger (on the left side), rotate the black basket so that the notch is at the top and fit the finger in the notch. Now, in the bag of tools you got with your machine, there is a little piece of metal that kind of looks like a flag. The "pole" is the gapper. Stick that down behind the finger and push the finger against it while you tighten the screws. Take the gapper out. Now it should work. And yes, with the finger not holding the basket in place, you will break needles.
