Thought there would be a chart for PP menu

Post by benush26 »

The M7 is in the garage in its box as space gets "reallocated". Anxious to start playing with it but not yet able, I dig out the manual hoping to find some sort of menu chart showing all the options for the PP, but no such luck. I understand the confirm button and when to press it twice, but I really thought that I would find something that explained menu choices, order and options.

Am I expecting the unneeded here? Is the menu so intuitive that 5 minutes and I will have it memorized? Yes, time and use will tell, but ....... I guess I expected more.

Anyway space reallocation should be done by Tuesday and chips and dust flying soon after.

I've spent the last few minutes deciding whether or not I should post this (and by the way if there IS a section on the menu options and I missed it :o well um, be kind .......). Am I the only one who thinks a piece of paper with the menu options would be nice?

Yes, the menu is so intuitive that you will understand it and have no problem using it to accomplish any task you will be undertaking. You have the choice to select your own rpm's or scroll thru the menu for the exact type of function you wish to perform like bandsaw, disk sander, table saw, as well as type of wood, saw blade size, etc. You will not need a chart to do any task with the PP.

Thanks for that.

I guess I am so excited to start using it, that I really want to see (even on paper) what I get to do.

Thanks again,

This chart is supposed to contain an "exact duplicate" of the information stored in the PowerPro database, if you are interested.
