Probably needs a good cleaning and oiling on the inside.
I think the adage regarding "using more force than reasonably
expected then something is wrong" may apply here. If a lever or
button will not move without use of pliers then something needs
to be adjusted/repaired/oiled etc...
the trickiest sewing machine buttons/knobs/levers i ever used
only required two actions ... e.g push in and slide, push in and
turn/twist, pull out and turn/twist etc...
If it is a rebranded brother then just look for the brother
machine equivalent.
