How to
The hands on this machine, taken from the manuals. Open the one you need.
Casting on
Putting the first row of stitches onto the needles. Everything else hangs from it: if the first row is wrong, the piece is wrong.

Moving stitches
Taking a stitch off its needle and putting it somewhere else: on the needle next to it, on a needle on the other bed, or a few needles in from the edge. It is the most frequent thing hands do on a machine after knitting, and every change of stitch pattern goes through it.
