o.uk...
Simon, thanks for all that. Good sense.

True. But there are plenty of youtube videos explaining that basic
stuff and that is arguably better than any printed manual can be.

I agree that a visual demonstration can be better than a written one,
especially when so many many are so abysmally written, but surely a
manufacturer shouldn't *rely* on external instructions which a purchaser
might or might not look at (assuming that said purchaser has internet
access at all).

Yes, they should have instructions that make it clear what can injure you
and the best of them would provide their own well done videos too.
