Good to know before you buy

It applies from PF02-02001. The later SK16 and SK17 use the PF03 series and a different manual, S5PF0004E, which we also list.

The serial prefix tells you more than the decal on these machines, so go by the plate.

This PDF is a scan of the printed manual. Diagrams zoom in clearly, but text search will not work, so use the index pages to find your section.
