Geoff,
I think the red hand is for the alarm. It should turn when you turn the alarm setting knob - it willl only turn one way.
If the hands don't line up someone has been 'at it' and the hands have been off.

Have you a picture?

Might be best if you just leave it if it runs OK. Whatever you do, no WD40 or oil please!
