Hey Clement.

I have searched for files on my computer, but i only found this:
https://wtp.hoechsmann.com/en/lexikon/7627/sm_7
Like I said, there is no very extensive manual, that describes in detail on how to use the machine. But that is not unusual, it's the same with my other machines. Just very basic descriptions of the functions.
I do have the complete paperwork between Maka and the originial buyer, wich is very interesting, but again, not in the sense that you learn something about the operation. There is a pretty lengthy conversation about the two different machines that are beeing offered (the SM8 and the SM7P) and all the available options.
There have also been recommendations from Maka that have not always been the most expansive options, wich i find particularly nice. And I think it was pretty common that you had the machine delivered by maka, with a technician who gave you a thorough introduction into the machine.
I would really like to know what these guys knew about the machine and the best ways to work with it.
I have never seen a parts list or an exploded view of the machine, but I had mine disassebled entirely and if you have any problems, then ask right away.
For specific questions, a few sharp and bright pictures alwas help, and if its about the operation, I will just try my best to explain, and/or show with pictures.
Last but not least, the machine seems kind of intimidating at first, but in the end its just a pimped out slot mortiser. And apart from the pneumatics, the machine is built very straight forward. And the pneumatics are not complicated either, I was just new to the whole thing.
Ah, in #4 and #26 I shared links to videos about the machines.
