I would say that any documentation that a manufacturer provides for training is welcome, regardless of how it is supplied. My experience with operation manuals over the years has not been good. PMMI Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute has some good guidelines that I have used to write manuals for clients, both machine builders and end users.

This has never been an issue for us - only in the media.
