The knobs are oversized, designed for better gripping. The coarse (larger) focus knob should turn easily to change the focus.

through the eyepiece, be sure that a uniform field of light is present with no shadows at any edge of the field. The condenser is spring loaded at the back of the stage and may be pushed in using the knurled center knob.
The polarizer lens is located in a filter holder attached to the illuminator, below the condenser of the microscope. It is capable of being rotated 360-degree (360°). Below the front of the polarizer is a small line indicating a "zero" or starting point. Align the 0° mark on the polarizer with that 'zero' line.
