Setup takes about:
Using [Product name]
One task per heading, in the order a new owner meets them. Copy down to the divider.
Writing a task
One action per step, starting with a verb, then what the reader sees: “Press Power. The light turns green.”

A safety message gives the hazard, what could happen and how to avoid it, and goes before the step it applies to.
