No need to use a power saw if they are soft bound. I just take them to Staples, have them slice off the spine, then scan using a fast document scanner. If I wish to preserve the original, I take it back to Staples and have them punch it and wire bind it for me. End result is a nice scanned copy AND a spiral bound manual that can still be used - actually a lot better since the pages can now be folded back onto themselves.

The few times I tried scanning Sharp manuals, I found that there can be a lot of bleed through. Unfortunately, Sharp decided to use very thin paper for a lot of their manuals.
