The operators manual will show shortcuts and save you time and money. All the illustrations and exploded views of the component parts are very easy to understand and clearly illustrate procedures.
Also consider purchasing the service manual(s) and parts catalog, if available. The operator's manual adds all the basic information meant for the end user of the machine, while the parts manual will make it much easier to find the right parts for the job and show in detail how the components are put together.
