If you do not have a button or lever on the outside you may have a button or lever under the slide plate, if you have neither then you will have a raised plate in your attachments

I have 2 necchi sewing machines & have the following feet
1.all purpose foot
2.zipper foot
3.buttonhole foot

sewingpartsonline.com has necchi parts

Make sure the bobbin has a 3-5 inch thread tail
Then make sure the top thread has a 3-5 inch tail
Then hold the top thread tail with your fingers (away from the needle)
& use the hand wheel on the right hand side of the machine to slowly
Lower the needle in the bobbin area & see if the bobbin thread will pick
Up that way

Hi JoEllen,
The walking foot replaces the normal pressure foot on your machine. There is a screw on the left-hand side of the pressure shaft that holds the ankle (if your Necchi uses snap-on feet) on the shaft. Loosen this screw until the pressure foot (or the pressure foot/ankle combination) comes off. Now slip the walking foot on where the other foot came off and tighten that screw. You're ready to go!

Hi. I found a copy of a manual for your machine at http://www.sewusa.com/Sewing_Machine_Manuals/Necchi_Manuals/4795_Instruction_Manual.htm but if it's the same one you have, that might not be what you're looking for.
Nancy's Notions (http://www.nancysnotions.com/home.do) has a good number of DVDs on sewing in general, and even a good one on use of the different pressure feet, but nothing on Necchi machines in particular.
Yahoo groups has a number of sewing machine groups. One is dedicated to Italian-made Necchi machines but the one that might be of most interest to you is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vintagejapansewingmachines/?yguid=336509903 on the older Japanese-made machines.
Please let me know if this helps.
Happy Sewing!

Robbie
