Older machines usually suffer from dried up oil and a build up of fuzz and lint. You'll need to do some serious cleaning and oiling. Look for trapped threads between moving parts. Use "liquid wrench" to clean capture drips and allow to soak for a bit. Then wipe down and use a good sewing machine oil.
Also if you mean that the needle is hitting something... that means the machine is out of time and needs to be timed.
I've tried to look up the manual for this but haven't found anything free for download. However there is a "608" that should at least give you some hints on what to do for your machine, oil points etc.
Get cleaned and oiled up really well... then if you still have bindinding issues check the timing.
try sewusa.com for threading diagrams or riccar does have some operation manuals when you go to thier site after you enter the website on the main page go to the bottom & look for manuals & click on that & it will take you to the manuals click on home sewing & embroidery
