Translation of the Side Swiper instructions by Claude F5PBL

The use of the Maniflex double contacts helps in getting a good rythm in your
sending and allows you to transmit at this speed without getting tired. Despite
that you need some training. If you follow the advices here after, you will
quickly get good results using this specific way of sending.

Position of the hand : it is very important not to tighten the paddle between
your thumb and your forefinger. The paddle should be pushed/press alternatevaly
by the thumb and the forefinger. The two fingers should be separate from each
other by abt one to two centimeters.

Basic principle : the paddle should always go from one contact to the other. In
other words, never push 2 times in the same direction/same side.

Sending method : you should start by sending slowly, a set of dits then dashes
in closing alternatively the right contact then the left one. At first you
should take care of the regularity of the sigs themselves and also of the rythm
and of the spaces between the sigs.

These groups are made to make your fist get customed with the movement to and
fro, this movement should be done smoothly, without tighness, without
"brutality" on the contact nor extreme pression. After that, you can start with
sending the simple letters : A N E I S H T M N O C H

You should send a set of letters, at first in hitting the right side contact and
then the same set of letters in starting with the left side contact. For example
for the letter A, you should start with the dit on the right side then the dash
on the left side. After, send the same letter in starting with the dit on the
left then the dash on the right.

You should proceed in the same way when you will start training harder letters
such as F L U W J then the digits and punctuation signs.

Even if you yet master the Morse code it is very important not to start at high
speed. It is very important at first to master the rythm/regularity, the speed
will come itself later on.
