Elna manuals:

Customer comment: The manual is gorgeous - you can hardly tell it's not original.
Don't be fooled by auctions for photocopies of manuals. Sellers often show a beautiful picture of the original
manual. The buyer is often surprised when they receive a few sheets of poor quality photocopies.

Elna Service Manuals

What a service manual is not:
1. It is not a substitute for common sense or basic mechanical skills.
2. It is not a substitute for basic sewing machine repair training and skills.
3. It is not a substitute for knowledge on how to to select and use the proper tools.
4. It is not a troubleshooting guide.
5. It will not tell you how to put it back together if you acted before thinking.
6. It is not an invitation for me to provide hours of free instruction for any of the above.

What a service manual is:
1. It is a technical guide to specific service procedures, peculiar to a specific make and model, written for use by a trained service technician. They may refer to "special" tools and gauges available only to
"authorized dealers". Some of these "special tools and gauges" may have a simple workaround, IF you have attended a "hands on" training course and understand basic service procedures.

If you expect the service manual to be twelve inches thick and start page 1 with "This is how you hold a screwdriver.", click the back button. You're already in way over your head. If you took the machine apart before you purchased a service manual and didn't make notes how it goes back together, the manual won't help. These manuals are written for trained professionals and will not teach common sense or repeat every simple basic procedure the mechanic should know BEFORE they open the service manual. The manuals do illustrate the technical procedures peculiar to a specific make and model.

If you need additional detailed personal instructions by e-mail or phone, we provide that service at $50.00 per hour.
It can sometimes take several hours to tear down one of our machines, take pictures and write detailed procedures
for what could be a normal 10 minute job performed by a trained professional. If you don't have basic mechanical skills and are unfamiliar with service manuals, it is usually much less expensive to send the machine to a trained professional and have it serviced BEFORE you create a very expensive repair.

Q: Is the service manual a photocopy?
A: Yes. Most manufacturers quit selling high dollar service manuals, in color, with glossy covers in the 1960's and now even the original manufacturers service manuals are photocopies. Trained service technicians are happy to pay for low cost information to service the machine and are not interested in paying extra for high dollar paper.

Q: The manual doesn't tell me what size or type of wrench to use. How do I know?
A: The author of the manual assumed you have a basic set of tools and know how to select the proper tool.

Q: Will the manual tell me how to repair my machine?
A: Yes. But, the authors of service manuals assume the service technician has already attended a "hands on"
training class and has acquired the basic sewing machine service skills. A service manual will not take you by the hand and lead you step by step to explain how to repair every possible malfunction in detail. If they did, you couldn't lift the book.

Q: Why are service manuals so expensive?
A: The printer plans to recover their costs from low volume sales. Service technicians are very happy to pay for the valuable information contained in the manual and realize the cost to produce the manual is always much more than the cost of the paper and ink.

Elna produced several different machines under the SU, SP, TSP label. This does not describe the model number and may result in the wrong manual being shipped.
