Have you downloaded the updated version(s) of the manual? I am sure that it is better than it was in 2008. Take a peek:
http://www.shopbotdocs.com/Copy-PRS-...ly-Manual.html

Like Brady, I travel the country servicing ShopBot machines. There are very few cases where the info to adjust, repair, hook up or install what the costomer is looking for is not in the manual. Most of the time in their OEM printed manual, but almost for sure in the updated version. Most have comments similar to yours. I often take the time to show them where the "unfound" info is located. If everyone took the time to read and understood all the documentation, Brady and I would be out looking for work.

I need some T shirts made. One side says:
"The ShopBot Manual: Widely Distributed, Seldom Read"
The other side says in large bold letters: "RTFM"
