Template:SimilarModelManual

Use this template near links to documents that don't (or may not) correspond to exact models of equipment at Maker Nexus.

Example:

{{SimilarModelManual}}

Result:

Note: This manual is not for the exact model of equipment we have.

When we can't find an online manual (or spec sheet or parts list) for the exact model of equipment we have, we may provide a link for a similar model, such as a newer or older model in the same product line, in hope that there will be enough similarities for the document to be useful. If you can provide reliable information about the differences between the models, or if you can provide a link to more appropriate documentation for our model, please update the wiki, or let us know so that we can update it.

And of course if what you read in any documentation, for whatever model, seems discrepant from the appearance or behavior of the equipment in front of you in a way that leaves you unsure of how to proceed safely, don't go charging ahead. Consider the situation more carefully, seek advice from someone more experienced with such equipment, and/or find a different way to approach your task that you can feel confident is safe.
