Terrible instruction manuals

I'd love to find the technical writers for some of these companies and smack em'

Picked up a Rikon bandsaw. The instruction manual makes the Festool Domino manual look like Hemingway.

I'm on page one....now granted, I figured this out, but note 2. Initial Assembly, a.

They refer to 2 of the parts, in proper caps, as Carriage Bolt and Glide Piece.

Now scan the legend of parts...10000 points if you can find these 2 terms.

Worst instructions I've ever seen came with a Honeywell Thermostat that I bought back maybe 10 years ago. Clearly the instructions were written in China or India and then translated to something close to English. It was translated so poorly, however, that it was basically useless. I found it easier to search on YouTube for a video of the install. That answered my question much better than the so-called "instructions" that came with the device.
