I have just found this group and hopefully you may be able to help a beginner.

I have just bought an Emco Compact 5 and may need some help and advice along the way.

Thank you

Hi Dave,

Welcome to the forum. I assume you have the manual, if not look here.

There are several videos (do a web search) and books. Two examples of books for download here and here.
