they contain to be priceless in using and setting up the machines properly. I believe this manual will be a valuable resource of knowledge that will provide a lot of helpful information that is often hard to find. My manuals are not photocopies. I maintain a high standard of quality in my reproductions. Most of the manuals I reproduce look better than their originals. I have professionally digitally edited every page, and removed stains, wrinkles and handwriting. All of the manuals are printed on thick white paper to withstand shop wear and tear; they are then comb bound with heavy cover pages so they lie flat on the workbench. Be sure to add my store to your favorites list! I am adding new manuals all the time. PLEASE READ the return policy and COMPLETE description of the manual. Because of the nature of this product, I do not accept any returns or exchanges under any circumstances. If you have any questions email me or send me a picture first.
