Having bought a pre-owned Sony FM stereo tuner through eBay, it came without any manuals. It soon became clear that to get the best from this excellent tuner I needed a decent manual because much of the operation was not intuitive to a newboy to hi fi like me. I managed to download the official Sony multi-lingual manual from Owner-Manuals.com with no problem at all - a really quick and easy service. I'm very glad I did because I found out all the operations of the tuner and was then able to not only set it up quickly but also to get much more from it that poke-and-hope trialling would ever achieve. In my book $4.99 very well spent.
This manual is immaculate in it's accuracy. Everything is written very clearly and easy to understand. Written by a professional who wants to convey a clear and easy to understand message!!
Great site, I always find all the manuals I need and i can't find anywhere else. PDF for the Sony PCM 3348 is complete and scan is good quality. Thank you!

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
C General advice on setting raker clearance
� When you sharpen the cutting teeth you reduce the RAKER CLEARANCE (cutting depth). To maintain cutting performance you must file back the raker teeth to the recommended height. See the �Technical data� section to find the raker clearance for your saw chain. � On a low-kickback cutting link the front edge of the raker lip is rounded. It is very important that you maintain this radius or bevel when you adjust the raker clearance. � We recommend the use of a raker gauge to achieve the correct clearance and bevel on the raker lip.
D Setting the raker clearance
� Before setting the raker clearance the cutting teeth should be newly sharpened. We recommend that you adjust the raker clearance every third time you sharpen the chain. NOTE! This recommendation assumes that the length of the cutting teeth is not reduced excessively. � To adjust the raker clearance you will need a FLAT FILE and a RAKER GAUGE.
� Place the gauge over the raker lip.
� Place the file over the part of the lip that protrudes through the gauge and file off the excess. The clearance is correct when you no longer feel any resistance as you draw the file over the gauge.
!
The risk of kickback is increased if the raker clearance is too large!
3 Tensioning the chain
!
A slack chain may jump off and cause serious or even fatal injury.
� The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up the slack. � Check the chain tension every time you refuel. NOTE! A new saw chain has a running-in period during which you should check the tension more frequently. � Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight that you cannot pull it round freely by hand.
