How do you tighten presser foot lock on Kenmore sewing machine 158-19412?

This is from the manual I have - Push down on the outer ring of the pressure regulator. (located at the top & left round knob, of the machine) This will release the pressure on the presser foot. To increase the pressure, push down inner pin until a suitable pressure is obtained. Insufficient pressure may cause poor feeding of the fabric, skipped stiches, or difficulty in guiding the fabric. If feed dogs or presser foot marks appear on the fabric, reduce the pressure. When sewing multiple thickness or heavy fabric, reudce the pressure. Increase pressure when sewing lighter weight fabrics.

What raises and lowers a presser foot on a sewing machine?

A presser foot on a sewing machine is raised and lowered using a lever or a button, typically located on the back or side of the machine. When the lever is lifted, the presser foot rises, allowing fabric to be positioned or removed. Conversely, pressing down on the lever lowers the presser foot onto the fabric, applying pressure to keep it in place while sewing. Some machines may also feature a knee lift for hands-free operation.
