Find a Users Manual on the Web
Use the Web to Find a Users Manual

By Wendy Boswell, About.com

All of us at one time or another have misplaced a user's manual to something we've bought. However, chances are you can find that manual on the Web. Here's a few different ways you can track down pretty much any user's manual:

  • Use Google. Simply enter in the name of your product plus the word "instructions" or "manual" or "user's manual", i.e., "Dyson user's manual." You can narrow your search even further by adding a specific file type to your search: dyson users manual filetype:pdf.
  • If that doesn't work, here are a few more sites to help you out: UsersManualGuide, Fixya, eServiceInfo, Free Camera Manuals, or Retrevo.
  • And if these methods don't work, you might want to try searching eBay for your missing manual - although I've been able to find any manual I've ever looked for on the Web, including a used steam cleaner machine I picked up at a garage sale.
