Do your stretches and warm-ups before doing this exercise. Set the weights on the machine on a level that is enough to give you a workout without causing strain. Place a wide bar attachment on the pulley and sit down on the machine. Position the knee pad so it will rest comfortably on your thighs to hold you down during the workout.
