To fix a jammed lock and brake system on a Nidek Medical AFC-330 machine:

1. Check if the main unit locking knob is engaged. If the main unit cannot move horizontally, the knob may be in the locked position.
2. Turn the locking knob to release the lock. Rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise as needed to disengage the lock.
3. Ensure the main unit is aligned correctly with the base unit before locking or unlocking.

Do not use the locking knob while the device is packed or transported, as it may cause damage from vibration.
