Manuals and Leaflets

Note that the best way to learn how to use his machine is by asking for a demonstration of it.

The manual shows well what this machine is capable of, however, we do not necessarily possess all of the fittings and options shown in the manual.

Additionally some (though not all) tasks shown in the manuals are now better done on other machines (e.g. the water jet cutter).

Please ask for more details.
