If I remember correctly, this machine does have an inching knob: this can be useful.
It's good if you can see the claw, we can use that and the inching knob to do some testing.
When you turn the knob the machine advances in extremely slow motion. If you watch the claw, it should move upward behind the gate surface, push forward so the claw teeth poke above the surface, sweep downwards, the teeth should retract and the cycle start all over again. (it's OK if this happens in reverse: you're just twisting the inching knob backwards!)
Sometimes the claw teeth are broken or bent, sometimes the mechanism is damaged.
