Hello,
Brand new to the site and hope someone might have a suggestion on where to go to find what I am missing. Just purchased at an estate sale a complete, sort of, Porter Cable Door Hanging Kit and it has a Porter Cable Model 5014 grinder/sharpener device for sharpening the spiral cutter on a Porter Cable 126 Portaplane. I don't have the manual on how to use it. The total package I got is awesome but I am missing the how to use some of it. Any suggestions for a totally new guy. I really appreciate any help. Tried the Porter Cable manual source and no luck there. Thanks.

Jerry,

You can do a search online and find the manuals for all of your equipment. Try the PC website first and do a model search for whichever tool you are looking for. There are other places, also.

One of the first things that I do, even if I have a paper hard copy manual, is download an electronic version and save it to my computer. Paper gets lost, damaged and torn but I can always access and if need be print out a specific manual.

Jerry has a good answer but when the motherboard blew in my computer recently some of my saved files went with it. Remember there are only 2 kinds of computer users. Those that have lost information and those that are going to.
