Snap-On MT2261 manual needed

Looking for an operating manual for a Snap-On MT2261 timing light. Anyone have a source? Been all over Snap-On's website and no joy there. Googled it and same result. Thanks for any help.

Reset button - resets the light to zero Tach/Adv - Toggles between the tach setting and the advance settings. Flash - On/Off for the strobe Dec - Decrease the setting Inc - Increases the setting

Basic use. Hook up the battery leads, Clip the pickup on cylinder number one. It should come up and ask you to select number of cylinders. Now it will display the rpms of the engine and can be used as a standard timing light. To use the advance feature you need the specs for the engine. They will tell you that base timing should be something like 4 degrees at 500 rpm. and that full advance should be something like 30 degrees at 1500 rpms.

Now use the Tach/Adv button to select degrees. Use Dec/Inc to adjust that number. Then switch to tach and adjust it to the correct number. When you use the light set properly it will read zero degrees at the set rpm IF the timing is correct. Use the same thing to check full advance.
