figure. To clear the keyboard push the [C]-key.
REPEAT:
-------
To enter the same number more than once, lock the [R]-key by
pushing it down and forward before pressing the [+]-bar. The
keyboard will not be cleared after the motor cycle. To release
the [R]-key, push and move it backward.
SUBTRACTION:
------------
Enter the (negative) number into keyboard. Press the [-]-bar
to start the motor cycle.
SUBTOTAL:
---------
The cumulated sum will be printed when the [S]-key is pressed.
The memory will hold the actual sum.
TOTAL:
------
The total sum will be printed when the [T]-key is pressed.
The memory will be cleared after the motor cycle.
ID-NUMBERS:
-------------
An ID-Number can be entered and printed with the [N]-key
(= NonAdd). This input is not registered in the arithmetic unit.
NEGATIVE RESULTS:
-----------------
A negative result will be printed as the COMPLEMENT of the next
higher 10, 100, 1000, ...
Example: -12 = 999988

... Made a SUPPORT out of CATFOOD-CAN with 2-Component-Glue
For M A N U A L OPERATING & TUNING:
(1st) The "SAFETY"-Lever ( stops machine when cover is lifted )
has to be fixed horizontally &
(2nd) A "KNOB" placed on the MOTOR AXLE ( observe the arrow! )
(3rd) When the VICTOR has to be run WITHOUT BOTTOM-CASE, than
place LONGER SCREWS AS FEET to have NECESSARY CLEARANCE !!!
