The time you most need user manuals is often the time you discover that you don’t have one Often this happens only after you have wasted an hour rummaging through dozens of old manuals (for stuff you no longer even own!) only to find that the one you really want is missing;-)I’m not just talking about computing stuff either – user manuals for products like ovens, mowers, TV and audio equipment all seem to have a habit of disappearing. The next step is to search online for a free manual PDF online but this can also be frustrating:. Manufacturer websites can be hard to navigate (especially for old/obsolete products) or they may simply no longer exist. Tip – if you have trouble navigating it, try using Google search parameters to find the manual. Google searches may find websites which claim to have the right manual – but then want to charge you to look at itHere are 5 websites to help (in no particular order) – each has its own merits so it can be worth trying more than one if you need to find a particularly obscure manual. As a quick test, I searched each site for a user manual for a Canon Pixma IP3000 printer which is well over 10 years old – the results are included for each website.Note: if you’re looking specifically for a car owners manual, see also the Appendix at bottom of this articleThis has over 3 million free owners manuals in PDF format. Wide range including tech stuff, home appliances, mowers, board games and car manuals.It has a good predictive search feature which narrows down the search results as you type.
Related manuals are listed below the search results which can help if the model number is slightly different (e.g. In different countries) or if there is more than one PDF available for that product e.g. A quick start guide and a full user manual.You can read the PDF within the website or download it and save/print – the green Download button at the top of the page leads to a standard reCAPTCHA verification to ‘Get Manual’. Watch out for the Adverts!
They often include ‘Start/Download’ type buttons that are nothing to do with this site – or they link to other sites that charge for manualsTest Results – found a 2 page Quick Setup Instructions and a 100 page Quick Start ManualThis has over 700,000 free user manuals in PDF format. Another wide range including tech stuff, power tools, home appliances, car audio etc.It has a predictive search feature which narrows down the search results as you type, although it didn’t suggest the IP3000 printer in my search. You can also search by Category then Brand – search filters are simple to use. Provides a direct link to the manufacturer’s support website if no manual is available. You can read the PDF within the website or download it and save/print. Again, watch out for the adverts!ManualsOnline has more of a forum and community feel – you can ask questions for product support and discussions from users are listed below the product manual. No predictive search feature but you can filter searches by manufacturer and product type.Test Results – nothing found.
No surprise as this site covers a far more technical area than standard home user printers. ConclusionIt is worth noting that no single website found every available manual/guide in my (limited) testing but three sites did find the user manual.Other documents found included a useful Service Manual, Quick Set Up Instructions and a Reset Printer Guide – I didn’t manage to find any of these on Canon’s own website so these were a nice bonus.Results will vary depending on the product searched for but these are all useful sites to bookmark for future reference.
