Can't help with manuals, but can offer one piece of advice -- once you get the thing running, be careful of that wire! Its going pretty fast (if my memory of using one once in the 70s is accurate) and can cut you if you press against it accidentally. In other contexts rapidly moving wire can be used as a saw, which is why the heads revolved on wire recorders.
