Even if you’re the type of woodworker who brags about never reading tool manuals, you’ll need to refer to one someday. But where do you keep the manuals so that finding one doesn’t involve days of tedious searching?
Go to an office supply store, buy a three-ring binder, clear plastic page inserts, and a set of dividers. Use the dividers to keep the instructions for your accessories grouped with the appropriate tool. For example, one section will include your table saw, its stand, rip fence, and so on.
To keep track of information that can be useful for warranty purposes, staple the original purchase receipt to the manual.
