There's not much to them that needs a manual. All it needs is a belt/speed chart so you can set it to 480 RPM and leave it forever. It's a universal speed for everything.
There's a zerk on mine for the lower spindle bearing. I greased it once about 35 years ago. Seriously, these are no-brainer machines. Just use 'em. Darn handy to have.
