I have used every manual I have ever received with a sewing machine or embroidery machine. I even made my own manual for my older Nolting long arm. I have to refer to it all the time. I can't imagine trying to troubleshoot problems for any of my machines without the manual. Of course, there is always Mr. Google and Facebook groups. But I would still make sure I had a manual.
Edited to add: Call the Babylock support number found on their website. That's what they are there for and they want their customers to be happy with their machines.
