I only have experience with the Hitachi that I put on my mill and I just received the Teco for my lathe. In my humble opinion, the Hitachi manual is much easier to understand.

I had heard that a number of times myself, which is why I went Hitachi. I dreaded the worst, but was quite pleased with the format of the manual and amount of detailed information it contains. And if I can get through it.... ;D

THAT is exactly what I "heard"- that the Hitachi manual is easier to understand, and that some of the Chinese ones are not. Which is why I asked, to confirm what I heard.
I did the 110 wiring when I framed out my basement into rooms for the kids rec room and my small shop. Hey, no big deal there and no genius needed- white & black wire, and sometimes the white becomes a hot when the power comes out of a switch.
But with wiring these machines, and 220, I'm a real dummy. I am clueless, AND have the added worry that 110 can zap you, (and has many times), but 220 will kill you. I need a manual that lays it all out for me.
Bill,
Thanks for the great link- I will read all through that and see if I can get it into my thick skull.
Thank you all!
