Brad -

I will defer to Wolfgang, but my translation of

Bei stundenwinkel und deklination zwischen 0 und 0 20 sowie bei
stundenwinkel 90 ist der Hohenrechenschieber nicht zu verwenden

is:

For hour-angle and declination between 0 and 0 20' as well as for hour-angle 
of 90, the altitude slide is not to be used.

The two dots above the o are called an umlaut (Höhenrechenscheiber). The ö 
sound is made by shaping your lips as though you were going to say 'oh', then 
trying to say 'ee'.
